An extra goodie, where we I tried to see whether Pol II clusters (cyan) are placed in pockets of low chromatin content, connecting via low-chromatin channels to NPC-rich export patches. I suppose both is the case.

For #FluorescenceFriday, I am sharing a first glimpse at Mona Wellhäusser's @mofrawe.bsky.social new nuclei expansion microscopy. Stained are bulk protein, bulk DNA, and nuclear pore complexes (NPC). Expansion is supposed to be 16x, in all three dimensions. Imaged with @visitech.bsky.social iSIM.

Color merged microscopy image: magenta is bulk protein, green bulk DNA, and orange nuclear pore complex (NPC).

Bulk DNA staining, displayed as single color channel.

Nuclear pore complex, displayed as single color channel.

VisiTech International Ltd. @visitech.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

The VT-iSIM incorporates two independent µLens arrays, each with 3,025 precision lenses. Together, they generate an array of diffraction-limited illumination spots at the sample plane and deliver pixel re-assigned PSFs directly to the detector, with no need for post-processing.

010

VisiTech International Ltd. @visitech.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

The VT-iSIM features VTi's patented 2D-Array scanning architecture; enabling scan, de-scan, and re-scan of multiple points of illumination and emission, with just a single moving element. Each scan produces a complete image, delivering ultra-fast, full-frame capture rates of up to 500 Hz.

010

VisiTech International Ltd. @visitech.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

With instant SIM technology, the VT-iSIM delivers super-resolution images in real time, with no reconstruction or post-processing required. You get spatial resolution down to 100 nm, reduced photo-bleaching, and across a wide field of view. Faster. Clearer. Smarter imaging.

031

VisiTech International Ltd. @visitech.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

Due to our innovative 2-D array scanning architecture, large independent arrays of µLenses, and the instant nature of re-assignment, the VT-iSIM delivers class-leading performance in photo-bleaching when compared to standard array and non-array scanning confocals, @2x spatial and axial resolution.

As is traditional with iSIM @visitech.bsky.social, we see things we never saw before. The first noisy image from a faint sample- live ND7/23 cells transfected with NMDA receptors tagged with RFP & GFP. But we never saw the membrane before...highly satisfying. More to come! #FluorescenceFriday
