What if you could watch chromatin change in live neurons…..IN REAL TIME?Share if this is your dream! My lab is making biosensors to make chromatin visible as neurons wire into circuits & are hiring an Associate Scientist to build, not just execute. Apply: stjude.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/stjude/job/M...

Doing a linear stretch on these images shows how dramatic the "edits" were, revealing the deception in clear terms. This should be a complete scandal for Thermo Fisher and more people in the biosciences should be talking about it.

Are you unsure about the best way to import or export your data in OMERO? Learn more about "Data Integration and Interoperability with ARC, OMERO, 3DSlicer, and OME-Zarr” from Niraj Kandpal. To his slides: 👉 doi.org/10.5281/zeno... To the recording of his talk: 🎬 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw8j...

Comparing multiphoton (2p/3p) imaging systems is often done poorly. labrigger.com/blog/2026/01... E.g., PSFs can be measured differently by different labs, staining quality is by far the biggest determinate on how multiphoton images will look at depth, and so forth. (1/3)

Are you staining DNA in your ExM samples? We have awesome news for you! All our 6 SPY-DNA probes work beautifully well with the U-ExM protocol. You can now tune the color of the DNA channel to your needs, according to the fluorophores on your preferred antibodies. spirochrome.com/products/?_c...
The images shows an array of 6 Expansion microscopy images of cell nuclei (three columns and 2 rows). each image was taken with a different SPY-DNA probe to stain the nuclear DNA and is pseudocolored to the  fluorescence wavelength of the SPY-DNA probe. Trom top left to bottom right: SPY505-DNA (green); SPY555-DNA (magenta); SPY595-DNA (yellow); SPY620-DNA (orange); SPY650-DNA (red); SPY700-DNA (darker red). a white scale bar of 50 micrometers is given for each image to get an impression of the scale of each nuclei.
