- Link to the Open Microscopy Environment – OME – which develops open-source software and data format standards for the storage and manipulation of biological light microscopy data:
- Useful information for deconvolution:
in particular a Nyquist calculator page for optimizing sampling rate:
- The confocal listserver:
- Databases of fluorochromes, dyes, their spectra and appropriate filter combinations (both for single and multi-photon excitation):
- Practical Microscopy courses:
Take an intensive short course to improve your practical microscopy skills and gain a thorough grasp of basic optical principles. Among the many on offer, I particularly recommend:- In the USA:
- In Europe:
