Very 😎! It seems that when the curtain is pulled back in pain, you will find the immune system doing interesting things...is it the puppet master, a canary or both?

Wonderful!

Pat Stemkowski, PhD @pstemkowskiphd.bsky.social · Dec 11

Thanks for the additional input. The best thing would be to put you in direct contact with Bliq HQ - I can PM the contact info but I think you need to allow for that on your end...

Thanks, Rob! SPARQ is indeed speckle based. There is no code currently available online from Bliq, but the work of Dr. Jerome Mertz and colleagues might be worth exploring 👉 opg.optica.org/ol/abstract....

Wide-field fluorescence sectioning with hybrid speckle and uniform-illumination microscopy

We describe a method of obtaining optical sectioning with a standard wide-field fluorescence microscope. The method involves acquiring two images, one with nonuniform illumination (in our case, speckl...
