Our M.Sc. PBioC (Physical Biology of Cells and Cell Interactions) students at @goetheuni.bsky.social had their first hands-on encounter with STED microscopy this week — and they captured some truly stunning super-resolution images. #FluorescenceFriday #Superresolution

Job opportunity for light microscopy enthusiasts! Join our new imaging Center at Goethe University and support researchers in using our light microscopes, including some brand new super-resolution microscopes 🔬 Hope to see you soon at Campus Riedberg!

Full lineup now announced for the 2026 #JCSimaging! Everything from #cryo #CLEM #superresolution #ExM #tissueimaging and more! Save the date and spread the word!

Finally out in Nature Chem Bio: SNAP-tag2 for faster and brighter protein labeling www.nature.com/articles/s41... Thank you Steffi and Veselin.

🏆 The SCALE-it Best PhD Award 2025 celebrated groundbreaking doctoral research shaping the future of science! From interdisciplinary innovation to pioneering methods & major scientific contributions — we honored early-career researchers pushing the boundaries:🧵

If you are attending #EBSA2025 in Rome and are interested in how single-molecule super-resolution microscopy🔬can help to 'crack the spatial code' of ligand-induced receptor-adaptor oligomerization, pls consider to visit Alexandra presenting her work at poster #48 on Thursday (session 3.48)👇🏻

🤩

👉🏻 so glad to see this work out now ... a masterpiece conceived, led and driven by 👉🏻 Christoph Spahn 👏@michriscopy.bsky.social (🚨 #NewPI) and with great collaborations 🙏 @henriqueslab.bsky.social @seamusholden.bsky.social @gomez-mariscal.bsky.social

Which is the most beautiful organelle and why is the endoplasmic reticulum? #ThursdayData

Thrilled that SCALE – SubCellular Architecture of Life (@scale-cluster-ffm.bsky.social) will receive funding 🥳 This fantastic success is thanks to the outstanding dedication of our speaker team — huge thanks to @ihaenelt.bsky.social, @mixmue.bsky.social, and @becklab.bsky.social 👏🏼

We are thrilled to continue our great collaboration with @zhixingchen2.bsky.social and Genvivo Tech. New products will be launched soon!

🎉 I’m thrilled to announce that my application to the Emmy Noether Program was successful! Over the next years, we’ll investigate how ER–mitochondria contact sites control the lipidome of both organelles. We’re looking for talented researchers to join us on this journey! 🔬

Excited to share my first post on Bluesky: I’ve recently been appointed as a Professor at Goethe University Frankfurt! 🎉 The Stephan Lab will use advanced bioimaging 🔬🧫 to explore how organelles collaborate to maintain subcellular architecture and metabolism.
