This was quite an exciting project that has been years in the making, hopefully we can open up light sheet microscopy to some new samples!

🧪 Want to image specimens that require air-liquid interface on a microscope with water-dipping lenses such as the lattice light sheet system? @aicjanelia.bsky.social, @cmhobson.bsky.social and TokaiHIT have just made that a reality. Check out our new paper: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

How do endothelial cells interact while migrating? Together with @jesseaic.bsky.social @scopeshifu.bsky.social @aicjanelia.bsky.social, we used #Cryo-SIM and #FIB-SEM to reveal a surprising diversity of nanoscale plasma membrane curvatures at asymmetric junctions. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

This morning at #IALSJanelia we're getting started with some microscopy fundamentals in a lecture by @cmhobson.bsky.social 🔬

We're exploring Fourier transforms at #IALSJanelia. In addition to applying them computationally in #Fiji, we're performing them optically with the help of a @thorlabs.bsky.social optics kit run by @cmhobson.bsky.social!

This afternoon's imaging lab at #IALSJanelia is all about subcellular structures, highlighted here by myosin (white) and actin (orange). These membrane ruffles were captured on our lattice light-sheet microscope by @cmhobson.bsky.social

For our first live cell imaging lab of #IALSJanelia 2026, we're exploring the migratory behavior of neutrophil-like HL60 cells. Confocal microscopy by @anjanja1024.bsky.social 🔬

We're kicking off #IALSJanelia 2026 with a keynote lecture by @scopeshifu.bsky.social. Our teaching team is excited to get to know all our participants and start two weeks of talking about microscopy! 🔬

🧪 @aicjanelia.bsky.social and @scientistrachel.bsky.social have just published a new quantitative tool, OpticalFlow3D, for tracking amorphous motion in 3D. Try it out and let us know what you think! tinyurl.com/OpticalFlow3D

🧪 From ~2500 applications to various international microscopy workshops, we delineate fascinating regional patterns in research foci and microscopy usage across the globe. These data could help form the basis for tailoring microscopy workshop curricula to local needs. tinyurl.com/32c3fzvk

🧪 We are excited to share this novel open access paper on Phasor Mixing Coefficient to analyze colocalization, developed by folks @i2janelia.bsky.social and @aicjanelia.bsky.social. This is also the first technical paper jointly published with our sister imaging center @malacridalab.bsky.social!

There's no algorithm on earth that can beat the predictive power of fortune cookies.

Global efforts in microscopy dissemination have revealed the importance of setting technology adoption capable of producing scientific outcome as an end goal. Learn more here in a Comment from Leong Chew and colleagues! @scopeshifu.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A year ago, global imaging leaders and funders met at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social to discuss #microscopy dissemination to underserved communities and the potential solutions. Are the challenges a misstep or a missed step? Here is the white paper to address that question. tinyurl.com/y6ycehzf

It often takes more than just technical validation to propel #microscopy technology to the end users. Here we detail the comprehensive stewardship model of the AIC (@aicjanelia.bsky.social) in "De-risking transformative microscopy technologies for broad adoption" tinyurl.com/4yat36ce 🧪 "

🧪Job opening at Janelia @hhmijanelia.bsky.social Integrative Imaging platform for a bioimage analyst. Please repost.

Integrative Imaging @ Janelia@i2janelia.bsky.social · last yr.

We have an open #opportunity for a BioImage Analyst to join our team! This is an excellent role for a problem solver with an empathetic, collaborative mentality who enjoys partnering with interdisciplinary scientists. Read more and apply here: hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

I am immensely excited and proud of the official launch of Imaging Southeast Asia (iSEA) yesterday. This is one of the fastest growing #microscopy communities I have witnessed across the globe! Check them out, and join at imagingsea.org 🧪

Very excited to be invited to this school next year. Students and postdocs: this is an amazing opportunity, you should apply!

Will Ratcliff@wcratcliff.bsky.social · 2y ago

Excited to share: The inaugural Alma Dal Co School on Collective Behavior is coming to Venice (Sep 29-Oct 4, 2025). This unique school honors Alma (1989-2022), whose brilliant work bridging physics and microbiology revealed how metabolic interactions structure microbial communities. 1/12

The deadline to apply for the Imaging Across Length Scales bootcamp is this Thursday, Feb 15!

Not only did I realize my dream of hiking on a glacier, I participated in the ritual of drinking from the Sólheimajökull in Iceland! 😎
