Day 3 of acute #Toxoplasma infection - parasites dividing snugly between the TWO nuclei of one skin cell. And no, binucleation is not an AI artifact. Unlike the 1st place #NikonSmallWorldinMotion 🟦 Parasite shell (GAP45) 🟨🟧🟥🟪 DNA (depth colour-coded) Zeiss LSM980, 100x #Microscopy #Science

Neuron art or tissue tears? Here's how my botched prep made a sassy comeback under the microscope. Keep your hands steady, blades sharp while brain sectioning. See a full post on this image on my Linkedin. 🟨 Cell nuclei 🟪 Kv3.3 channels #Neuroscience #Microscopy #FluorescenceTuesday

Artefacts: get a pretty picture by messing up the prep! Once I misaligned the #brain while slicing, creating a diagonal cut through Purkinje layers. Instead of one layer, multiple rows appeared—unexpected beauty from error :) 🟦 Cell DNA 🟥 Kv3.3 channels #Neuroscience #Microscopy #FluorescenceFriday

My '37th View of Mount Fuji,' is a January cover for @scotmicro's 2025 fundraising calendar! Got it at SMS 50th Annual Symposium, where I gave a talk on #expansionmicroscopy :) A 'mountain' formed by ependymal cell nuclei in the mouse brainstem. #Microscopy #Neuroscience #Brain #FluorescenceFriday

This is a great microscopy course, so many talanted people and a trip to Scottish Highlands - highly recommend!
