Another fishy #FluorescenceFriday. Even a simple DAPI (blue-yellow) and actin (red) staining can decorate the zebrafish one-day-old embryo spectacularly! 🐟

Happy #FluorescenceFriday 🔥 The title may be new, but the spectacular microscopy isn't! Congratulations to the newly minted DR @vanderspuy.bsky.social on a well-earned PhD! 🔬
During the final group project at #IALSJanelia, participants are combining their knowledge of light sheet microscopy, large data handling, and tracking to measure macrophage motion in a zebrafish tail. The data shown here was taken on our SiMView microscope by @anjanja1024.bsky.social.

My 1st Nikon Small World Reject of 2026 :-) A heart muscle cell photographed through a microscope. Alpha actinin 2 and beta myosin II are shown. #CellBiology
#2026SDB with amazing fluorescent imaging again. However, every session I attended so far has talks with red-green LUTs. 6-8% of us have color vision issues, especially for red-green. More visible color combos are easy to generate. As scientists, we can do better. 🧬🪰🐭🐟🧫🦎 #WeTheColorBlind #devbio

New Toettchlab paper alert! Harrison Oatman just published his beautiful work combining software design for "smart" microscopy+optogenetics and some really beautiful work understanding EGFR-driven collective cell migration. www.cell.com/cell-systems...
Happy #FluorescenceFriday. Its always exciting when i get to test out new constructs in my cells. It's not common that I get to see the ER network in an immune cell. This construct is not strictly ER but it's so overly expressed that it labels the ER in an embryonic macrophage in 🐸. How cool?
I am excited to open my lab at @ibioillinois.bsky.social in Spring 2027! We will use zebrafish & other fishy friends to reveal the genetic basis of large scale changes in the vertebrate body plan, and how this impacts both human health and evolution. Join me at UIUC! 🧬🧫🔬 www.hawkinslaboratory.com

New favorite way to color code microscopy data: this is a real 3D confocal image of an unidentified larvae stained for actin (muscles fibers here). Looks like a watercolor painting! #microscopy #ImageJ #FluorescenceFriday #microscopyMonday

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! 🔥🧪🔬 A blaze of neural crest cells migrates through a developing quail embryo on one of embryonic development's most epic journeys. Beautifully captured by @vanderspuy.bsky.social 👩🔬🐣 #Devbio
This #MicroscopyMonday is a developing Apple Snail embryo. On the left is the shell, the middle the body and the foot at the bottom. On the right the head with the eye (green circle) and the tentacle bud. 🐌 (@planaria1.bsky.social Lab)
Despite its nebula-like qualities, this image is from the microscopic rather than astrophysical scale. This adherent cell was labeled for focal adhesions (blue structures) and actin (orange fibers). It is one of the many samples the team is hard at work preparing for #IALSJanelia 2026!
#TubulinTuesday Reposting an old favourite - breast cancer cell grown in a low dose of taxes for a long time. It's swirling peripheral actin is winding microtubules like yarn on a spindle, pulling its DNA along into the maelstrom.
Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Eye of a zebrafish embryo🐟
Far from a static structure, the ER actively shapes its environment. See how its motility allows it to physically shape the cellular environment in this microscopy footage from Dong Li (CAS) & Andy Moore (Janelia): youtu.be/DnOYwPLhq60 doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... #FluorescenceFriday #Microscopy

Annual killifish continue to surprise us: they make neutrophils before almost every other cell type, even before gastrulation. Neutrophils usually arise from the lateral plate mesoderm (forming in cyan), but in killifish they are already patrolling around the embryo in gold. tinyurl.com/killiphil

Working with complex systems makes even the most mundane thing fascinating. This is cortical reaction in 🐸 embryos. Upon fertilisation, ions are released and draw water in thru osmosis, making zygotes float and orient according to gravity. Do you see the waves?👀 not quite #fluorescencefriday #devbio
