* I'm Leanna, a senior in Course 20. I find all sorts of things fascinating which is both a joy and a nuisance. Through 309, I began to better understand the impact of improved imaging tools on fundamental movements in the field, and I would love to broaden this learning experience to at least 3 new imaging- or measurement- related approaches this term. As a scientist, I really feel like I need to better understand not just the function of the scopes available commercially, but also the physical concepts and limitations associated with them. Specifically I'd like to learn more about image processing and/or 3D imaging. I think it would be great to be able to track cell migration or other small movements in 3 dimensions over time with the parts available to us in the 309 lab. Light field microscopes are also pretty cool. :p
 
 
* In lab I, I hope to come to understand the basics of data acquisition. Programming/MATLAB isn't my strong suit, but I'd love to learn more.
 
** Complete a button that takes in data from a tethered microbead and adjusts the stage position to center it on the tether
 
*** Try to get nicer calibration data
 
*** Function that finds the center
 
*** Feed in recorded data in a simulation
 
** Look at the properties of the tether, to calculate the persistence and contour lengths
