Yep - 'artistic liberties' would be a massive understatement.

Computationally generated illustrations are not light microscopy. This word salad provided by @healthcare.nikon.com is wildly disingenuous. At a time when science is fighting a constant barrage of misinformation - even the appearance of impropriety is intolerable. Do better @healthcare.nikon.com

Yeah, we'll see how this pans out - it just sucks when they shit in your backyard (allegedly).

It does look that way - that would take some major balls to attempt something like that especially in such a small imaging community.

The controversy is really heating up. Personally, I think @elisabethbik.bsky.social should weigh in.

‘Brainsaw’ and ‘OrganGrinder’ are easily the coolest microscope names ever.

This dude is on another level. Blender work is incredible. Inspirational stuff.

Do you have to replace the objective often? I can’t imagine partially soaking a non-sealed dry lens would perform well over time. 🤷‍♂️

OK - I gotta know why your dry 4x illumination optic is immersed? 🤔

This is such a great series from #NikonSmallWorld. Amy's @amyengevik.bsky.social images are awesome and it's so true that you can submit images you think are the best and when they don't get picked you're like 'awww...' It doesn't matter though - keep submitting and trust your gut! 😜

Of course, my all-time favorite is the fourth-place image.I actually submitted it three times. I remember submitting it the first time, and I think I did a different color scheme, and this is going to...

🙄 This is a microcosm of politics in my country: "Trump added that he did not remember meeting Zhao, had “no idea who he is” other than being told that the multibillionaire crypto boss was a victim of a “witch-hunt” by former president Joe Biden." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump says he doesn’t know who crypto tycoon is despite having pardoned him

Billionaire Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to enabling money laundering before president freed him last month

This is an airyscan confocal movie of mitochondria (white) moving around in a mouse astrocyte. Actin filaments are in orange and microtubules are in blue.

This reminds me of keyword stuffing webpages in the late 90’s to improve search engine results. Old dogs - old tricks. 😂

Yeah for files >300Gb we write files to a scratch 4Tb NVMe on the local machine before processing in Imaris. Too many issues with external drive qualities.

Jason Kirk 🔬📷 @jasonmileskirk.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

Also if you are converting your file with Imaris directly (and not with the separate utility) I would change the default location from the system drive to another available drive.

Jason Kirk 🔬📷 @jasonmileskirk.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

Where is your converted IMS file stored? Local HDD, network drive? We’ve had janky issues in the past with files stored on network drives especially for large datasets.

It can be - but try this. Keep one channel monochrome (ideally the overall structural label like actin). Having 2 colors is less visually distracting than 3.

Yep - the cutout in the 3D print recesses each magnetic base a fraction of a mm so when the magnets meet the chamber is supported by the full surface area of the print. 😎

New chamber mount design for our @mesospim.bsky.social - magnetic kinematic bases from @thorlabs.bsky.social for the win! 3D printed (for now) bases hold the chamber snugly for precise positioning between experiments. Fill port on the front allows for media addition without disturbing imaging.

“take stack of beads, inspect reliced images, poke again.” 😂 This is the kind of stuff I love about the imaging community.
