If you happen to stop by my lab on a typical day, you probably will not find me working at the bench or sitting in front of my desk.
Now, it's easy to see how this can give the wrong impression to some people (Is he off to get coffee again??).
But in reality, I'm holed up in a small non-descript room with the single most expensive piece of equipment that I've ever worked with. This is our imaging platform.
I've seen go through a number of upgrades (motorized XY stage, LED illumination system, upgrade to the Z stepper unit and the actual stand itself) and have had some harrowing close calls (managing to drop something INSIDE the stand itself).
I'm quite lucky to have such a capable imaging platform in-house as I was really able to spend time and get very comfortable with microscopy through the years, both for gathering data and acquiring publication quality images.
