The 10 Years of #mesoSPIM Symposium was a blast! 🔟🎂The excitement was palpable, and we were all inspired. Three days flew by fast! Thanks to all the attendees, speakers, organizing team, and our sponsors for making it such a memorable event! Let's shape the next 10y of microscopy together! 💪❤️🔬

This is insane. 13 years ago we bought a million dollar #microscope to do this type of super-resolution imaging. Today, all you need is a smartphone and a few hundred bucks of off-the-shelf components 🤯 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

Has anyone used XIMEA cameras for fluorescence microscopy? For example this model from the xiB-64 series looks great. They're spec'd as CMOS but comparing to similar sCMOS models from other manufacturers the difference isn't obvious. Am I missing something? www.ximea.com/products/pci...
