Our new toy for explaining optical tweezers at the Dresden Long Night of Science #LNdWDD. THX a lot to Michael Bugiel for designing the model.

Great opportunity to shape the future of X-ray connectomics (and much more 😉): @psi.ch is looking for a new head of the Center for Photon Science www.psi.ch/en/hr/job-op...

#LISH2027: We're putting the band back together! We're on a mission...

So true... and not just for scripts. Also applies to long-term time-lapse imaging experiments started on Friday afternoons :'(

Looking forward to see what's coming next! :)

I want THIS for Xmas! 🤩

A last goodbye to the founding system of our core facility... recycling the galvo scanners of our beloved Lattice Light Sheet Microscope so they can be put to good use in Weber Lab at @mpi-cbg.de

Still one of my favorite applications on our @asi-imaging.bsky.social SCAPE system: imaging ovulation in adult c.elegans at a speed of one volume every 2 seconds. Thanks a lot to @janfgeisler.bsky.social for exploring our microscope together with @oleksiievets.bsky.social

Imaging an imaging system... Happy to show our @asi-imaging.bsky.social single-objective light sheet microscope at @mpi-cbg.de to artist in residency Carolyn Kirschner and film maker Andy Gibbs tu-dresden.de/kustodie/pro...

Congratulations David and all my best wishes for your future endeavors! P.S.: Love the optical tweezers on your PhD hat!

Trick or Treat... @oleksiievets.bsky.social manufacturing two highly complex optical devices for our @mpi-cbg.de Postoc Special Halloween Seminar

Great to see the ASI single-objective light sheet used for long-term imaging of tumor cells to study the transition between single-cell and multi-cellular spheroids: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Congratulations @huiskenlab.bsky.social @metteh-thorsager.bsky.social! Once again thank you for also making your Flamingo system available to students during @embo.org #LISH25 at @mpi-cbg.de

Sightseeing for microscopists in Barcelona. Thanks a lot to Jim Swoger @embl.org Barcelona for showing me his custom-built light sheet systems.

The effect of undersampling... as highlighted by an art installation on the Color Fantasy ferry between Kiel and Oslo

Yesterday me and my lab celebrated #20years @mpi-cbg.de. There is a lot to say about that but the pictures from the event tell it better. Thanks city of #Dresden for the nice fireworks. That was unexpected. 10 more years or so? #LoPaTs 💕

Research team @nadlerlab.bsky.social, A. Honigmann @biotec-tud.bsky.social, B.Drobot @hzdr.bsky.social, M. Hof @heyrovskeho-ustav.bsky.social develops approach to visualize lipids in cells & uncovers the main transport mechanism for lipids within the cell. @nature.com www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

Lavender gone viral at #LISH25! @paveltomancak.bsky.social is even considering it as official color for the next @embo.org #LISH27ish at @mpi-cbg.de. Now we just need to convince @ereynaud.bsky.social Looking forward to getting the gang back together! @cuencam15.bsky.social @olafselchow.bsky.social

🧬🔬🧪 🎉 Our team at @czbiohub is thrilled to share TWO companion papers out today in @NatureMethods! 📦 Ultrack — robust, scalable nD cell tracking 🌐 inTRACKtive — a beautiful, open-source web viewer for lineage exploration Let’s dive in! 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

...and the sad truth about axial resolution...

How microscopists like to think about voxel...

People asked about my portrait... so here is the Story behind it...

Looking forward to seeing all those "seeds" planted during #LISH25 fourish :) Let's keep inspiring each other!

It was wonderful having so many intense - and inspiring - discussions over the past two weeks at #LISH25. Thank you to everybody for making this course possible! @paveltomancak.bsky.social @ereynaud.bsky.social @cuencam15.bsky.social @olafselchow.bsky.social

Mission accomplished! Zebrafish heart at 20 volumes per second with our @asi-imaging.bsky.social Single-Objective Light Sheet microscope. Thanks a lot @oleksiievets.bsky.social and @bkhake.bsky.social for tweeking the hell out of our system.

It was great working with all of you at #LISH25 over the past two weeks!

It is wonderful seeing these amazing results after two intense weeks at #LISH25

The first paper of our lab is finally out, and I feel very proud and grateful to our wonderful team! @Jannik Rothkegel, @Sylvia Kaufmann, @Michaela Wilsch-Braueninger, @Catarina Lopes <3 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Can you find all FIVE Flamingos in the picture? Thank you Jan Huisken and @metteh-thorsager.bsky.social for bringing your microscope to #LISH25 at @mpi-cbg.de

Is lavender becoming the new 'it' color amongst #LISH25 organizers? @cuencam15.bsky.social @paveltomancak.bsky.social @ereynaud.bsky.social @olafselchow.bsky.social

Production has started for a new #Snoutscope objective, AMS-AGY v3. It has significantly larger FOV and some other tweaks from v1 and v2. Currently accepting pre-orders. The price will need to increase modestly after deliveries start late October.

Day 9 of #LISH25 Some field trip to haunt for tasty specimens @paveltomancak.bsky.social @bundschuhst.bsky.social

Our virtual reality experts waiting for their opportunity to present their latest toys at #LISH25 @skalarproduktraum.bsky.social @apimore.bsky.social

@hamamatsucorp.bsky.social generously provided their Orca Quest2 for the @embo.org #LISH25 Course. Looking forward to taking the camera for a ride on our @asi-imaging.bsky.social Single-Objective Light Sheet system with @bkhake.bsky.social

Excellent mid-course presentations from the #LISH25 student teams. Packed @csbdresden.bsky.social seminar room. Tons of data, visualisation, sample preparation creativity, and image analysis in progress. Lots of ambition from the student teams. I am impressed.

Yay... testing the laser cutter on our @asi-imaging.bsky.social Single-Objective Light Sheet system with @bkhake.bsky.social

Day 8 of #LISH25 Instructors also are getting their hands dirty, but looking cool @paveltomancak.bsky.social @bundschuhst.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de

Back to the bench for #LISH2025 at @mpi-cbg.de after a day of exploring Dresden. Starting our day with Rocky Balboa and Matteo Rauzi. Thanks a lot for organizing @paveltomancak.bsky.social @ereynaud.bsky.social @cuencam15.bsky.social

Late night heartbeats. Speed mode activated! @asi-imaging.bsky.social #LISH25

This was magical — @loicaroyer.bsky.social live on piano @mpi-cbg.de. Made my day! It’s always amazing to learn about unexpected talents apart from the amazing science.

For the day five of #LISH25 Jan Huisken comes home, to @mpi-cbg.de, to show us what his latest project, the #Flamingo microscope can do. Walk up song featured stunning photography of birds - all taken by Jan who is the imager all the way.

Day four of #LISH25 begins with a powerful presentation by @loicaroyer.bsky.social on digitizing zebrafish development, combining light-sheet and single-cell data. Loïc took the #walk-up song to another level, improvising on the piano as his massive fish development visualisation played. Beautiful.

Almost a piece of art... thanks a lot @bruvellu.bsky.social for providing us drosophila samples to image on our @asi-imaging.bsky.social SCAPE System with @bkhake.bsky.social at #LISH25

Excited to be here @mpi-cbg.de in Dresden supporting the @embo.org light sheet course and visiting multiple @asi-imaging.bsky.social single-objective light sheet systems and their wonderful users! @bundschuhst.bsky.social #LISH25

Followed by Sebastian Bundschuh's deep dive into #lightsheet_formation, #resolution, #phototoxicity, #configurations, and more. This is a Universe by now, and it's hard to fit it into one hour lecture, but this was the right level of introduction. #LISH25 (shorter is better 😏).
