in 2021, I was a member of the team @the.3i.social that described, for the first time, using a #lightsheet #microscope, the full nervous system of a mouse. I don't know if this has ever been duplicated. Sample from CIBR, Dr. Hu Zhao. Happy #FluorescenceFriday Nerds. BB-PEG. 6.5X/0.25NA

Towing of lateral line axons in vivo in a transgenic zebrafish embryo. Great imaging at the EMBO #DevBiol course in Quintay, Chile, using a Zeiss Light Sheet microscope. Huge thanks to Universidad Mayor, Microxchile, Leo Valdivia, & LiSIUM_Chile for allowing the use of the microscope at the course

One of the most relevant challenges in light sheet microscopy is the mounting of samples. Different strategies, creativity and a lot of patience are required to carry out this task! Would you like to see the final result? Clarified sample (CUBIC) by Ignacio Casanova (U.Chile)

We are staying in Chile for our ‘Imaging with…’ series & in this post, we meet the team at Unidad de Microscopía, Universidad Mayor, Chile. The Universidad Mayor is home of the @lisium-chile.bsky.social project. We’ll be hearing some updates on LiSIUM from @anvargasr.bsky.social on FocalPlane soon.

Our morning session started with talks on the open science ecosystem from Tobias Wenzel & Hernán Grecco. Both speakers emphasised the importance of training. Quote of the day so far, “By democratising science, we strengthen democracy!” #BiologistsWorkshops focalplane.biologists.com/2022/10/11/a...
