Here is how a typical session of imaging embryos under Lightsheet Microscopy goes. A glimpse into my day-to-day work 🙂
Assemble the incubation chamber:
Collect and mount the embryos:
Acquire a short timelapse from multiple angles:
Transfer (lots of) data for image processing 😉
Recently, I had the honour to be interviewed for the Portrait of Science. It’s a beautiful project created by Magdalena Gonciarz to get to know the people who do science (aka the scientists). Check out the project’s Tumblr and Facebook pages!

Heading to #embryo2017 today! Wondering how long will Conklin’s words remain current… (120 years and counting)
