Human Islet Purification Miami 1998 • 20181102

Efficacy of the novel iodixanol-UWS density gradient for human islet purification

Slideshow (video) of my January 1999 oral presentation in Igls (Innsbruck), Austria, at the 18th Workshop of the AIDSPIT (Artificial Insulin Delivery Systems, Pancreas and Islet Transplantation) Study Group. (Now known as AIDPIT).

These results of this innovative islet purification method developed in our Leiden islet laboratory (LUMC) were the outcome of work I had done spring 1998 with the islet group of Camillo Ricordi in the “fast track” center for diabetes research at the Diabetes Research Institute in Miami , Florida, USA.

Captions for Cas


① memo 20181007 ~ Captions for Cas ~ Help caption images in Cas Oorthuys photo archive. Last friday I visited the retrospective ‘This is Cas | Vintage Photography by Cas Oorthuys’ in the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam , Holland , and came across this great project :

The museum invites visitors of the exhibition to help with information on the many photographs , offering large iPads at a round table with Cas’ work. I searched for Normandie , and filmed browsing the results.

Online , I just checked , the project invites everyone to help . Below some info from the museum site and the link for visiting yourself.

“The Nederlands Fotomuseum is appealing to the general public for help in identifying the contents of photographs taken by Cas Oorthuys, among the most influential of all 20th-century Dutch photographers. Anyone is able to study the photos in the Oorthuys archive online and provide information on the contents…

Captions for Cas
All sheets are available online and work can begin on captioning them. In an extraordinary exercise in public participation, the museum invites the general public to help write Captions for Cas. Using the existing Vele Handen platform, it is open to everyone to contribute information on any of the images in the contact sheets. The museum is looking not just for photography lovers, but for a wide variety of experts and people with relevant personal knowledge. Oorthuys travelled widely and photographed a huge range of things. Input will be needed, for example, from experts on traditional costumes, the shipping industry and agriculture in the Netherlands, but also from people familiar with the various other regions and countries that Oorthuys visited. In addition to many countries within Europe, these included Canada, Congo, Indonesia, Egypt, Morocco, Syria and the United States.”

Note , though , the platform and project instructions , and photographer’s notes , all is in dutch .

Ceiling Mirror Selfie

A flow of images passing by – here from Sportsman’s Inn, Killarney, Canada – during digital archiving while transferring some 30,000 copies of older – analogue – photographs and slides. And that’s not all – much more needs to be digitized. Of course many scans were made the regular way : using a flatbed scanner for prints, and a film-scanner for negatives and diapositives. But a digital camera can be very usefull for making copies ….
That digital Canon G3 that I mentioned in recent memo’s (August 1, 6, 7) was used as a daily camera between Aug 1, 2003 and the end of december 2005. The next 4 years that camera was still used but in a different role : that is, once in a while, for bulk copying photo prints in big albums that are difficult to handle on a flatbed scanner. Further because scanning of all slides was also taking so long …years .. a quick and dirty shortcut for making temporary copies of the remaining half of all my slides was used by taking photo’s with the G3 camera of those slides during projection on a screen.
The image shows the importing in iPhoto of a 1998 mirror selfie taken immediately after arrival in a hotel room in the Sportsman’s Inn, Killarney, Canada.
Comment : NO , at the time I was not aware of the dutch photographer Ed van der Elsken or his work and similar ‘Mirror above bed’ photograph .. that encounter would take another ~ 10 years.
