Extremely excited to share quite an achievement for our group. Two years ago, we started #PhasorPy (www.phasorpy.org, now in our v0.8). In parallel, Bruno Pannunzio, in collaboration with Marcelo Zoccoller, led the hashtag#Napari_Phasors plugin v0.1 for FLIM & HSI phasor analysis.
I am grateful and thoughtful to @biologists.bsky.social for supporting @muktarlawan.bsky.social visit to our lab in 🇺🇾. Muktar has been a wonderful visitor and now an ambassador for HSI and phasor analysis at @BioRTCNig in 🇳🇬 and across Africa. Looking forward to more messages in the bottle!
We thank Muktar Lawan @muktarlawan.bsky.social for sharing his story. We are delighted this was such a pivotal experience, especially during the early-career stage. If you would like to share your story, you can send us a message in a bottle at biologists.com/100-years/me...

A week ago we installed the new 2P-laser #Insight X3 by @spectraphysics.bsky.social
This laser is now the new heart of our #DIVER microscope.
Expanding our opportunity for spectroscopy #690-1300 #WavelengthMixing #FLIM #CARS #Pump_Probe
We are very excited!!!
