The #mesoSPIM community just celebrated 10 years of open-source light-sheet microscopy in Zürich! For #3DThursday, we're honoring Martina Schaettin & Fabian Voigt’s iconic 3D chick embryo dataset — a luminous benchmark for open science and shared discovery. #Microscopy #Lightsheet #syGlass

The winners for the largest photo microscopy competition were just announced and they do NOT disappoint!! [Photos shared with permission courtesy of the 2025 Nikon Small World Photo Competition] 🧪🔬

for #FluorescenceFriday : is your ExM sample too large to be imaged with high NA objectives? VIPS it! Very clever way to tackle one of the biggest challenge in large volumetric ExM www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This image of moss Physcomitrium patens beautifully demonstrates what we mean when we say that this cell type is characterized by oblique cell walls. You can see that the cell walls between cells are at an angle and not perpendicular to the cell axis. #microscopymonday #moss #plantcells

Grateful to see one my #superresolution #pollen images won 2nd place at the 2025 @bioimagingna.bsky.social image contest! www.bioimagingnorthamerica.org/image-contes... #microscopy #confocal #botany #plantscience #allergies #bioimaging

I found these immune cells just finished mitosis but their midbody is still yet to be resolved. How cool? If you zoom in to the midbody, you can see its classical shape just like in the textbooks. I love these little details.

Love these!

I'm frequently asked if we can use XRM imaging to study Arabidopsis, and the answer is absolutely yes. The pollen grains were segmented using basic grayscale thresholding. This scan used the 4X lens, stayed tuned for results from the 20X. @danforthcenter.bsky.social @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social

Congratulations @maikbischoff.bsky.social for this well-deserved honorable mention!

For students: how can we quantify neurodegeneration using #microscopy? One way is to use a marker like 🟡 below (SMI32). It identifies a population of pyramidal neurons that is lost early in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer and Parkinson. And after some viral infections 👀👀 #Neuroscience
