  1. Nice #Labrigger post on a point that is easy to forget in #2p #CalciumImaging: Image quality is not just about seeing cells, but about photons/s/neuron.

    Larger FOVs are tempting, but they usually mean fewer #photons per cell, lower sensitivity to small Delta F/F events, and more trouble w/ #neuropil contamination. In the end, fidelity is a measurement problem, not just an optics problem:

  6. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: ☀️🚦 Fun fact: The #sunlight warming your face today was actually born about 100,000 years ago, deep in the #Sun’s core.

    #Photons can only travel a centimeter before smacking into #electrons, zigzagging randomly through dense #plasma in a cosmic traffic jam. By the time they finally reach the surface, they’ve transformed from gamma rays into the visible #light we see.

  8. When it comes down to it, #electrons are at the core of most #AI image generators. Researchers are working on ways to use #photons instead, providing better privacy and reducing power consumption. spectrum.ieee.org/generative-o...
