If you follow Open MIC on Twitter, you’ll know that I (Jen Lee) am leaving the Molecular Imaging Center. This Friday, October 27th, is my last day. As I reflect on the past 3 years, I realize how much I’ve learned about microscopes, imaging, and teaching. I’ve always enjoyed teaching, but most of my pre-MIC… Read More Training 101
One trend that I’ve picked up on in the two years since starting Open MIC is that there’s a huge thirst for learning more about ImageJ/FIJI for processing and analysis. Every time we’ve had a session on ImageJ/FIJI, it’s been a packed room. To meet this demand, Ben Smith from the Vision Sciences Program and… Read More [Meeting Recap] Introduction to Quantitative Image Processing: Deconvolutions, Filters, & Fourier Space
After a LONG hiatus, Open MIC reconvened with a lecture on Rigor and Reproducibility in Imaging Experiments given by yours truly (Jen Lee). This was a lecture I had originally prepared for first year grad students as part of a new module funded and required by NIH training grants. The other lectures in the series […]

Last week, Open MIC @ Berkeley hosted a holiday party to celebrate the winners of the 2nd annual Molecular Imaging Center Image Contest. Members of the MIC community gathered to eat, drink, and be merry while watching a slide show of all 41 entries from the contest. About 30 minutes into the party, I had the pleasure of… Read More 2016 Image Contest Results & Holiday Party
From May 21-27, 2017, the Zeiss Berkeley Brain Microscopy Innovation Center will open its doors for an advanced course on state-of-the-art optical tools, imaging systems, and analysis methods that are being developed for the study of neuronal circuits. Each day will be divided into lectures and hands on laboratory experience using emerging BRAIN Initiative neurotechnologies, including optogenetics, calcium imaging,… Read More Time to Apply for the Berkeley 4D Advanced Microscopy of Brain Circuits Course
Registration is officially open for the 14th Annual Advanced Imaging Methods (AIM) Workshop, organized by the CRL-Molecular Imaging Center at UC Berkeley, with major support from Boston Electronics, Becker-Hickl, and Zeiss Microscopy. The event will take place from January 25-27, 2016 at the Berkeley City Club. This year’s AIM program is full of stellar speakers… Read More Register Today for the Advanced Imaging Methods Workshop
On Tuesday, August 23rd, Ben Smith of UC Berkeley’s Vision Sciences Program took us through a two-hour introductory crash course on how to write macros for ImageJ. The room was packed with people and laptops as we learned the ins-and-outs of the programming language, variables, functions, arrays, and setting up loops. To teach us about terminology… Read More Meeting Recap: ImageJ Macro Writing 101
Mark your calendars – Open MIC meetings are back on August 23rd! Ben Smith, the Microscopy Specialist for the Vision Sciences Program at UC Berkeley, will lead a session on “How to Write Macros for ImageJ” at 4pm in Life Sciences Addition Room 347. Come and learn how to make variables, functions, and arrays work for… Read More Next Meeting: How to Write Macros for ImageJ
