    If robots could dream of microtubules, how would they look like? An amazing story by Alon Saguy, @ShechtmanLab and colleagues. Proud we could contribute to it

    PSF engineering typically requires a 4-f system, but this is not always feasible, e.g. due to size constraints. Nadav Opatovski attached a phase mask directly to the objective lens, see beads defocusing here. Tetrapod mask shown here (wait for the end):

    This enables PSF engineering in space-limited microscopy systems, e.g. that fit into incubators. Uses include extended depth-of-field and snapshot 3D spheroid from 2D, using algorithms by @EliasNehme9. Bonus: Obtaining training images is easy with a high-throughput microscope.

    New prepint just out! Live cell single molecule localization microscopy at >3 fps. The information is mostly there - just spread out in space and time :) We use a recurrent neural net (LSTM) + some assumptions to extract it. All details here:

    One of these super-resolution microtubule images was captured by a microscope and the other one was generated by a diffusion model. Can you tell which is which? Try more here: 1/4

    This is a very ongoing project, with many open questions: what are the performance limits? How much can we really gain beyond the information in the training data? and of course: what would be the best uses of something like this in super-resolution microscopy? 4/4

    Computational microscopy often relies on some kind of wavefront shaping by diffractive optical components, which can be very difficult to fabricate. This motivated us to utilize 3D printing + near index matching for simple & cheap DOE fabrication.

    We generate a variety of solid elements, including microlenses, vortex plates for MINSTED and more, and pretty challenging PSF engineering masks! Thanks to our collaborating groups, Ady Arie, @Stefan_W_Hell @AleksPonjavic, in this multi-national effort led by Reut Kedem Orange!

    In many (most?) cases in fluorescence microscopy, in which the positions of spots are determined, it is not really their global positions that are of interest, but rather their *relative* positions, i.e. their distances from one another.

    Consider the problem of determining the 3D distance between a pair of 2-colored spots. One option is to find x1,y1,z1 and x2,y2,z2, e.g. using a 3D PSF, and calculate the distance. But why not optically encode the *distance*, rather than individual positions?

    Just out: Ofri Goldenberg learned and implemented a multicolor phase mask + decoding net for determining the distance between a pair of 2-colored spots in 3D. The net outputs the scalar distance of interest.

    Doing multicolor (single-molecule) imaging? Tired of waiting for each color? Want simultaneous imaging with full field of view but without the multicamera hassle? Take a look at our 'Circulator'! 🔥💪 Very excited so please RT! (1 of 5) #microscopy

    Can you determine your distance from a truck the same way you determine the z position of a fluorescent molecule? Of course you can, all you need is a PSF-engineered telescope! Adventurous Nadav Opatovski built one:

    As @HenriquesLab noted in the last SMLMS regarding the blinking Eiffel tower - Maxwell's equations are the same regardless of scale... BTW the failure of the active rangefinder in the gif is due to scatter from dust from the truck; PSF engineering is much more robust to it.

    Phase mask is a double-helix, and for image analysis we used @SjoerdStallinga's excellent cepstrum method or a neural net by Dafei Xiao. More info in the paper + realization how fortunate we are in microscopy to neglect atmospheric turbulence + an excuse for us to buy a drone.
