60-second microscopy lessons from a working research facility.
We're the Light Microscopy Facility at MDI Biological Laboratory. We train researchers to produce rigorous, quantitative imaging data — and this channel teaches the fundamentals to everyone.
One concept. One minute. No filler. Accurate enough for a PI, clear enough if you've never touched a microscope.
The series is a curriculum — each video builds on the last:
Path A — Fundamentals: Optics, contrast, fluorescence, confocal, light sheet, detectors, sample prep, image analysis.
Path B — Objective Lenses: Aberrations, immersion media, specialty objectives, choosing the right lens.
Path C — Advanced Techniques: Super-resolution, FRET, FLIM, multiphoton, expansion microscopy.
Path D — Bioimage Analysis: Turning images into numbers. Segmentation, colocalization, deconvolution, reproducibility.
