This was quite an exciting project that has been years in the making, hopefully we can open up light sheet microscopy to some new samples!

🧪 Want to image specimens that require air-liquid interface on a microscope with water-dipping lenses such as the lattice light sheet system? @aicjanelia.bsky.social, @cmhobson.bsky.social and TokaiHIT have just made that a reality. Check out our new paper: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

How do endothelial cells interact while migrating? Together with @jesseaic.bsky.social @scopeshifu.bsky.social @aicjanelia.bsky.social, we used #Cryo-SIM and #FIB-SEM to reveal a surprising diversity of nanoscale plasma membrane curvatures at asymmetric junctions. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

We're exploring Fourier transforms at #IALSJanelia. In addition to applying them computationally in #Fiji, we're performing them optically with the help of a @thorlabs.bsky.social optics kit run by @cmhobson.bsky.social!

This afternoon's imaging lab at #IALSJanelia is all about subcellular structures, highlighted here by myosin (white) and actin (orange). These membrane ruffles were captured on our lattice light-sheet microscope by @cmhobson.bsky.social

A year ago, global imaging leaders and funders met at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social to discuss #microscopy dissemination to underserved communities and the potential solutions. Are the challenges a misstep or a missed step? Here is the white paper to address that question. tinyurl.com/y6ycehzf

It often takes more than just technical validation to propel #microscopy technology to the end users. Here we detail the comprehensive stewardship model of the AIC (@aicjanelia.bsky.social) in "De-risking transformative microscopy technologies for broad adoption" tinyurl.com/4yat36ce 🧪 "
