This is really cool!

If you are interested in the latest advances in Imaging Cell Dynamics, check out the 2026 @jcellsci.bsky.social Meeting. These small meetings are a terrific way to meet key people in the field and get feedback on your own work. Highly recommended! www.biologists.com/meetings/jcs...

📄 🌟 Researchers introduce HAK-actin, an actin label compatible with post-labeling in #SuperResolution ultrastructure expansion #Microscopy #ExM. The authors demonstrate its use in cells expanded up to 16-fold (figure). 🔗 View the preprint article: bit.ly/47xC8NJ #Microscope #Imaging #Fluorescence

OK--fluorescent protein friends. We want an antibody to TagRFP that works in immunofluorescence. Any suggestions? Re-post please

Beautiful work and gorgeous images!

Issue 16 is complete! On the cover: Embryonic eye of an anole lizard stained for nuclei and F-actin. The image was acquired at the 2025 MBL Embryology course by Arthur Boutillon and was the Editor's choice from the Node image competition. thenode.biologists.com/vote-for-you...

We are seeking a creative and collaborative Senior Postdoctoral Researcher with significant experience in single molecule #microscopy who is interested in visualizing immune responses in T cells. Join us at @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social Please share!

✨Nervous about development? Don’t be! 🧠 E13.5 🐁 embryo showing nerves (🩵) and endothelial cells (💙) weaving together in the developing pup 🔬 image by Nathan Burns 🧪 #FluorescenceFriday #DevBio #MouseEmbryo

This might be one of the simplest images I captured, but very fascinating nonetheless, as it shows how tight the cytoplasm in a plant cell is. The cytosol and all other organelles are squished between the plasma membrane (magenta) and the central vacuole (its membrane is green) #MicroscopyMonday

Pollen diversity #3DThursday!🌼🌾 Thanks to Nat Prunet's careful microscopy, we see ridges, spikes & pores that reveal how plants spread & survive. 🔬: @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social LSM 980, Airyscan 2 🥼: @nat-prunet.bsky.social 🏛️: UNC Biological Microscopy Core 🎬: syGlass.io v2.4.0 #syGlass

I found an original way to play with 3D data on ImageJ : progressive color coding! I'll share the script soon #FluorescenceFriday #Sciart #MicroscopyMonday

Trying the @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social LSM 980 with lightfield at my core. I’m very curious about the performance of the lightfield 👀 #microscopy #bioimaging

This 2022 #microscopymonday image by Marko Pende is of two axolotls. The samples were mounted facing the objective lens with the neurons and Schwann cells stained. Schwann cells are the glial cells that form the myelin sheath on axons outside the brain. #researchmatters 🧪 🤝 #microscopy #lightsheet

Beautiful meristem!
