Besides installations and workshops, our Imaging and Optics Facility team at @istaresearch.bsky.social is involved in the greaduate school teaching program: ‘all hand on deck’ this week(s) to teach the new cohort of student the “ins-and-outs” of Imaging. 🤩🔬👨‍🎓🙌

We hosted a camera performance workshop today @istaresearch.bsky.social. In Part-I, where Ando Zehrer from Teledyne Photometrics provided a seminar, followed by a demonstration of their performance monitoring procedures.

We are delighted and very satisfied with a extremely smooth installation of the @abberior.rocks Mirava Polyscope, by 2 fantastic engineers. Our new ‘imaging soldier’ is equipped with 2- and 3D STED, MINDLUX, adaptive optics, lifetime imaging, matrix detectors and options for spectral imaging.

Dawid Lbik from @abberior provided an excellent seminar today about ‘Novel Staining Strategies for Advanced Imaging Applications’ at @istaresearch.bsky.social - going through concepts and consideration for high-resultion imaging.

#elmi2025 working toward joining forces of builders and creators to share *community tools* @eulimi.bsky.social @bioimagingna.bsky.social -> submit your tool (elmi.embl.org/tools/)

My slides about "Learning and Training #BioImageAnalysis in the Age of AI" presented at the @globias.bsky.social @carpentries.carpentries.org workshop are available #openaccess. Big thanks for hosting us @istaustria-iof.bsky.social ! 🔬🖥️🤖 zenodo.org/records/1516...

Founded in 2009 with a bold vision to become a top international research institution, ISTA already ranked 3rd in 2019’s Nature Index Normalized. Today, its campus is “home” to 1,100+ people from 78 countries. By 2036, it will double in size to appr. 150 research groups + more than 2,000 employees.

A big ‘thank you’ to @nikonmicro.bsky.social for providing the smart microscopy workshop at our premises, thereby showing insight on how to optimize automated microscopy in a smart manner. #reproducability #productivity 🤖🔬🧫🔁

BrainGlobe has a new atlas, for the dwarf cuttlefish (Sepia bandensis). Thanks to UCL student Jung Woo Kim for packaging this atlas! For more details about this (and the rest of BrainGlobe), please see the blog: brainglobe.info/blog/cuttlef... Original paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

Let's give it a go to my first #FluorescenceFriday Here's a color-coded Z-projection of a weevil head imaged on our Zeiss light-sheet 7 with pure green autofluorescence. Looking very cool, but also ominous! @istaustria-iof.bsky.social

don't forget to submit your abstract until 4 March ⏰ for #elmi2025 in Heidelberg. @eurobioimaging.bsky.social @globalbioimaging.bsky.social @bioimagingna.bsky.social @france-bioimaging.bsky.social @bioimaginguk.bsky.social @gerbi-gmb.de @africanbioimaging.bsky.social @latambioimaging.bsky.social

BrainGlobe has three new mouse brain atlases including: - Multimodal (LSFM & MRI) developmental atlas from Yongsoo Kim's lab - Multimodal (LSFM & MRI) adult atlas from Gubra - High-resolution Australian mouse brain atlas (MRI) See the blog for more details: brainglobe.info/blog/mouse-a...

We are excited to invite you to an exclusive remote seminar host on February 26, 2025, from 10:00 to 11:00 AM (CET) a session led by Dr. Frederic Català Castro, from at IMPETUX OPTICS S.L., about microrheology through the use of the SENSOCELL optical trapping system.

Based on the feedback of #elmi2024 there will be a follow-up session for COMMUNITY TOOLS during the Core Facility Day at #elmi2025 in Heidelberg. Submit your community tools to MicroscopyDB via elmi.embl.org/tools/ for the chance to be selected to present it.

Bioimage analysis professionals: join us in-person for a workshop at ISTA in Klosterneuburg, Austria, April 7–8, 2025. A workshop to adapt and expand the current Data Carpentries image processing curriculum. Information & registration: tinyurl.com/3twkax2k

During last weeks’ building maintenace works, we also took extensive cleaning measures to make everything *bling* again! This to ensure prime environmental condition to let our high-end machine park perform on its highest performance levels, with least down-time for researchers 🧹🫧😁🔬🧑🏼‍🔬
