As part of her BEST IGERT fellowship training, Tara spent the afternoon in the Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics (LFD) learning how to image cell organelles with a confocal microscope and measure NADH using fluorescent lifetime imaging microscope (FLIM).
Tara built a simple laser speckle contrast imaging system, using it to visualize flow movement in milk and (attempt to) visualize blood flow in her finger.
