On #FluorescenceFriday we are featuring this beautiful FLIM image of compressed wood tissue from Ioannis Theodorou @ioathepatterns.bsky.social. For more information about the image and Ioannis’s research check out our post: focalplane.biologists.com/2026/02/27/f...

A big thanks to Alex, Joe, Marketa, Mark and @biologists.bsky.social for bringing together plant imaging enthusiasts across scales and career stages - all in a classic English countryside setting!🔬🌱 @ajcellbio.bsky.social @joemckenna.bsky.social @focalplane.bsky.social

On the second day lots of nice discussions and presentations and a hiking tour around buxted.

2nd day: "Macro to Micro: Quantitative Plant Imaging Across Scales" #BiologistsWorkshops. Yesterday, was nice half day mostly getting to know our fellow microscopists. Beautiful stories from different carreer stages with super beautiful microscope images.

Traveling from North Sweden to London for the "Macro to Micro: Quantitative Plant Imaging Across Scales" #BiologistsWorkshops Excited to learn more about plants bioimaging and receive some feedback for my preliminary work with T89. #Development #xylem #aspen #1st_original_post

Working prototype of a heating/cooling modular algae photobioreactor with built in bubbler, multispectral sensor, and grow light. No custom PCB's. All off the shelf parts. Simple arduino code. Open source. This one's for @kylelauersen.bsky.social. I love making lab hardware. #scisky

Welcome to the #devbiolwriteclub Bluesky Boot Camp! I’ll be posting here regularly with thoughts and exercises to help scientists become better writers. Let’s start by managing expectations: I will NOT help you write better. I WILL help you become a better writer. 🧵 1/10
