🚨 Paper Alert!

A new preprint from our DC @Kata_Szabo is out!

Check out the sample-preparation protocols she developed for volume electron microscopy (vEM) of marine organisms. 🔬🌊

Second day at #SPAOM 2026 in Vic!
We are thrilled to be at 'El Sucre' celebrating the 10th anniversary of SPAOM alongside the Iberian microscopy community.

💡 TODAY: Join our exclusive workshop! Don't miss the first-hand unveiling of agendo CORE.

I’m incredibly fortunate to be working with @joycemeiri.bsky.social who has joined my team following her post doc with the Akhmanova lab. A kindred spirit! Someone who loves #microtubules & #microscopy as much as me. Welcome to #AIBN #UQ Joyce!

🔬 DNA-based probes light up to report receptor interactions in living cells, enabling wash-free imaging and ligand screening. A cell-culture proof of concept—not a direct readout of receptor organisation.

🏁 That's a wrap! The @biohub.org Cell Tracking machine learning challenge on @kaggle.com is over: 4,478 participants, 3,947 teams, 120 countries, 95,438 submissions, tracking every cell of zebrafish embryos. 🧪🔬🧵

Tip 6: The #scientific method states you should have ONE variable in your experiment.
That's impossible in #biology, but be kind to yourself and tackle the assay variables separate from the biological variables, especially during early stages.

Lessons in #microscopy from Wendy Salmon, ALM:
Tip 1: Patience makes it go faster.
Take 0.5 seconds to make sure you won't crash the slide. Titrate that reagent to determine optimal staining.

I think the Olympus BX50 from the 2000's is one of the most beautiful microscope frames*. It like the clear, geometric lines. More architecture than product design.

Any other vintage BX here?

💯 but the longer they don’t rule, the worse this becomes. @healthcare.nikon.com time to step in and sort this omnishambles…. The #Microscopy community are watching & increasingly concerned by the lack of transparency. 🔬🔬🔬

Preprint is out! Our BakingTray software turns a 2-photon microscope into a serial-section tomography system for automated whole-organ imaging. ~€35k to convert an existing scope. 11 systems worldwide, >7,000 samples at SWC alone #neuroskyence #microscopy www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
