🔬In this new paper, the authors describe how an improved Brillouin–Raman micro-spectroscopy platform enables simultaneous mechanical and chemical mapping of soft materials at micrometre resolution, using a shared confocal pinhole to acquire spectra from 0.1 GHz to 100 THz per point.

An animal’s body is in constant conversation with itself — & HHMI Janelia scientists have built a way to listen in. WHOLISTIC simultaneously records real-time activity from nearly every cell in a living larval zebrafish, a 1st step in understanding more complex bodies like ours: bit.ly/4xMR1Ww.

We made it completely open-source and even created a visual inspection tool for you to refine the results ("human-in-the-loop", the computer people would say)

Figure 1 of the paper, showing the worflow: it includes TB-scale pretraining, silver-label training, gold-label training, abd curation through one-click refinement, human in the loop and network fine tuning. Lots of colorful images of cells, membranes, nuclei
