From Eel Pond, a community of #microscopic life comes into view. Captured in darkfield at 4X, 0.16 NA on an #Evident DP75 microscope, each branching form is defined by the light it scatters, revealing delicate edges and structure against a dark field.

That’s a wrap on #AQLM 2026 🔬Thank you to everyone who made this year’s course possible: students, faculty, TAs and vendors. We are looking forward to what this #microscopy community builds next.
Interested in applying next year? 2027 applications open in late 2026, stay tuned for updates.
Good to have you back again this year, Jim!

Back from @aqlm.bsky.social .
Adequate sunset view on the way back.
It was an honor to hear Prof. Sarah Veatch, PhD, deliver yesterday’s Inoué Lecture, discussing how spatiotemporal pair-correlation analysis can recover nanoscale membrane organization in live-cell single-molecule localization #microscopy despite diffusion and molecular motion.

#ThrowbackThursday with #AQLM. Since its founding in 1980 by Shinya Inoué, AQLM has been closely tied to the evolution of #imaging living systems. Today, it continues to train new generations in quantitative biological imaging.

Happy #MothersDay from this shrimp and her eggs, captured on an #Evident DP75 4X/0.16 NA darkfield microscope.

We tuned into a lecture by #AQLM course director, Prof. Diane Lidke, PhD, about single particle tracking. She discussed labelling strategies including quantum dots, and their applications using 2D/3D trajectory visualizations and diffusion mapping.

Why be out of focus when you could be at #AQLM, learning about microscopes inSTED?
Today, our students did rotations with our vendors #OxfordInstruments, #Nikon, #3i, #Leica & #ONI, learning about super-resolution #imaging modalities including DNA-PAINT and dSTORM.

Yesterday, we tuned into a lecture by Prof. Reto Fiolka, PhD, about Light-Sheet #Fluorescence #Microscopy. He discussed light sheet #optics and different #imaging modalities, as well as implementations in live imaging whole #embryos.
