I've been steadily developing our image compression software over the past month and now you can try it out in your browser, without needing to install anything, thanks to the magic of WebAssembly! beryl.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/radelta/ No data is uploaded anywhere, it all stays on your computer.
Radelta — microscopy image compression
Local compression and decoding of microscopy image volumes using Radelta.

I've been working on a fast, high-ratio image compressor to try and alleviate the data storage issues myself and some of my colleagues have recently been facing. Before I 'release' version 1, it'd be great to gain some feedback regarding performance and missing features. github.com/jdmanton/rad...

GCHQ strikes again and deems knowledge of our new approach to tissue clearing too dangerous for public consumption! We're still working on the information included on the website, so hopefully we're unblocked by the time we've finished. If you never hear from me again you know what's happened...

Yey, I figured out how to display 3D movie stacks in #ChimeraX, thanks to @dabiophysicist.bsky.social for the suggestion. My original tiff was not ome-tiff so you'll need to convert it first (do this with #Python), then adjust voxelsize in ChimeraX so the image isn't flat, record, and voila!
One drawback tho and unless I'm not aware of an alternative, it seems if you want to display a time series stack, you have to save each time frame as a separate stack before loading them into #ChimeraX. If you don't, it will superimpose all timepoints into 1 single 3D stack. This, #napari is better!
New preprint! Using multiscale ExM/OPM/ASLM, we show that oncogenic drivers leave distinct 3D architectural fingerprints in intact liver tissue: NRAS primarily remodels cell shape, whereas CTNNB1 shifts mitochondrial architecture toward a pericentral-like state. tinyurl.com/kepy33m6

Excited to share our first lab preprint! We enabled fast wide-field FLIM with low noise and high dynamic range. We built compact resonant modules for EO-FLIM that fit into your hand and developed methods to capture multi-exponential phasor plots at up to 500 Hz. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
In a series of 3 papers and preprints, we’re thrilled to share with you the working laser phase plate. In collaboration with research led by Holger Müller at UC Berkeley, this is a huge innovation in imaging to make small and faint objects inside cells visible. bit.ly/4vK9LVn
