MicroClaw advises on experiment- and system-specific parameters and approaches. It collaboratively plans and executes diverse, complex, and reusable imaging workflows across microscope platforms, without requiring expert knowledge.

Happy to share our publication on MicroClaw, an AI agent that turns natural language requests into operations on any microscope controlled by Micro-Manager: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6.... The software is single-click installable (download and click install.bat) at github.com/Micro-Claw/m....

Microscope control with a natural language agent

Microscopy underpins modern biology, but acquiring high-quality data from complex experiments at scale remains challenging. Smart microscopy can standardize and automate data collection, but each expe...

Long time in the making and finally out. Great work by Lucas and @haosha.bsky.social who wrote the code, Maxime and Nestor for the beautiful samples and @zacsimile.bsky.social for helping to wrap this up. Try it out!

[0/1] Excited to share our new preprint DECODE-Plex! After many people efforts, we developed a deep-learning framework for multi-channel SMLM, enabling simultaneous localization and color assignment of densely packed emitters across multiple channels. biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

One frame. Many voices. 📢 From Vienna to Yale and Göttingen – and now back in Vienna – Sarah Schweighofer (Ries lab) has built her path in molecular biology and super-resolution microscopy, driven by a fascination for making the invisible visible🔬

See also our preprint about the microscope itself, which went up earlier this afternoon! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Big news for correlative cryogenic SMLM/ET! With my colleague Soheil, we (Mahamid and @jonasries.bsky.social labs) indicate lamella-specific illumination can allow 500-1500x higher laser intensities, opening massive new possibilities for correlative imaging #teamtomo www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
