My first first author preprint from my PhD work is out today on arXiv! 😁@DrBrianPatton and I have developed an image-based method of aligning multichannel infinite-conjugate microscopes using a ray transfer matrix analysis model arxiv.org/abs/2307.04940

We hope this alignment method will be particularly useful for open-source microscopy systems which often have compact designs resulting in difficulties using traditional alignment methods, such as autocollimators and shear plates, or where additional hardware isn't available.

It’s odd to get lectured by people telling me that bike helmets aren’t important when the emergency services at the scene yesterday told me I probably wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t wearing one.
Funny old world! I hope you’re having a good Tuesday.
