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.

🧪 We are excited to share this novel open access paper on Phasor Mixing Coefficient to analyze colocalization, developed by folks @i2janelia.bsky.social and @aicjanelia.bsky.social. This is also the first technical paper jointly published with our sister imaging center @malacridalab.bsky.social!

It’s great to see this document supporting colocalization via Phasor analysis of HSI data, now available on confocal microscopes. Thanks to @scopeshifu.bsky.social and @aicjanelia.bsky.social teams for their collaboration starting in 2022 during the Imaging Latinoamérica workshop.
