Two #photons are approaching a refraction grating. One photon says to the other: "Which slit should I go through?" The other says: "Don't be so particular."

Good morning AQLMers, #ScopeTheScope at Day 2 of AQLM 🌊

Today, we observe wave optics in theory and wave behavior in practice, visible everywhere in Woods Hole.

The Lillie Building at the #MBL was established in 1925 as a purpose-designed space for delicate scientific work. A century later, it remains a place where #microscopy, collaboration, and new ideas come together.

Mistake #1: #Imaging too slowly.
If frame rates are too low, rapidly moving particles appear to “jump” between positions, distorting trajectory reconstruction and diffusion analysis.
