czitools 0.20.1 is out! 🎉 Improved CZI/HCS → OME-Zarr export, lazy Dask reading, lighter imports, better napari notebook support, and NDV visualization. Github: github.com/sebi06/czito... PyPi: pypi.org/project/czit...

Es spielt keine Rolle, wie beliebt die Homöopathie ist, ob sie erstattet wird oder nicht, SIE HAT KEINE WIRKUNG, DIE ÜBER DEN PLACEBOEFFEKT HINAUSGEHT. Heute nicht, morgen nicht und übermorgen auch nicht. Das wird sich auch niemals ändern. Niemals. #DerApotheker 🥷

Beautiful work published by my new Lab at @nature.com today! @dorie00.bsky.social et al. created MouseMapper, an AI-powered tool that identifies & maps cells/tissues throughout the whole mouse body. We can now use this for different diseases, such as #LongCovid. This is AI being used the right way!

A friend and colleague of mine @digitalsreeni.bsky.social published this a few days ago (in case you have not seen it already) It nicely demos the best and worst in AI .. Cool and scary. github.com/bnsreenu/fak...

I just got our new stickers from our COP Python at Zeiss (@zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social is of course part of It). Cool, isn't it :-)

Since @napari.org just released 0.7.0 I also checked if my to little plugins still work and released new versions with some small updates. pypi.org/project/napa... pypi.org/project/napa...

Friday fun with: pyapp-kit.github.io/ndv/latest/ pymmcore-plus.github.io/ome-writers/ github.com/zeiss-micros... - run an acquisition in ZEN - capture the pixel stream via ZEN API - write it directly to an OME-ZARR using ome-writers - display it in the NDV viewer. Also works with @napari.org 😉

Hi all fans of #smart #microscopy, we from @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social have just published a new application note: "Study Mitotic Progression with Guided Acquisition – Rare Event Detection" go2.zeiss.com/ODk2LVhNUy03... For more details: forum.image.sc/t/applicatio...

I tried out my updated image readers for CZI files with the new (at least for me) NDV viewer: github.com/pyapp-kit/ndv and I am really impressed. This several GBs multi-dimension stack open super quickly (dask lazy arrays) and navigation works nicely.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

I am still digesting all the info from the OME-NGFF hackathon last week. So I decided to make a little UI for some of the code created there (just to play around), which one can easily show to interested colleagues 😜. CZI --> OME-ZARR with some options ... By far not perfect but still fun!

ZEISS Lightfield 4D has been nominated for the prestigious Thuringian Innovation Award! 🎉The jury has made their selections - now it's your turn to decide on the "Audience Award 2025". 👉 Support us with a "thumbs up" : zeiss.ly/innovationspreis2025-voting Voting is open until Nov 21, 2025. ⌛

Hi Fans of Feedback Microscopy, what would you do when you have access to the pixel stream from @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social inside @napari.org? Btw, it works as well in Fiji&ImageJ :-) Sidenote: Experiments started from "outside" do not update the ZEN UI. But they are executed by ZENservice.

Finally - the latest release of our pylibCZIrw supports also MacOS. Check: pypi.org/project/pyli...

My favorite thingy: Direct data streaming and stage control from Java!

Americans: tell your friends who are worried about Tylenol that there's a safe alternative available in the UK. For a modest fee, I will send them Paracetamol, which is NHS-approved for pregnancy and for children. You can even get it combined with decongestant to make a tasty hot lemon drink.

Hi Fans of Smart Microscopy, Are you ready to automate your next large scale microscopy experiment and work smarter, not harder? Join us for the Smart Microscopy workshop organized by EPFL Bio-Imaging Platform (Lausanne) and @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social www.zeiss.ch/mikroskopie/...

I saw this in my vaccation in a cafe in France. As a person creating AI software tools I hope that is not true but I am not so sure anymore ...

From #ome-ngff-validator you can open open #OME-Zarr images in a bunch of viewers, and neuroglancer's rendering of multi-channel images just got a lot nicer: ome.github.io/ome-ngff-val... - See github.com/google/neuro...

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

We’re excited to share that ez_zarr now supports Zarr v3! 🚀 Huge thanks to @mbstadler.bsky.social & @csoneson.bsky.social who took on the challenge of creating this open-source tool for fast, programmatic access to OME-Zarr file sets + easy plotting 📊 📄 joss.theoj.org/papers/10.2110… (1/3)

I finally managed to upload the first version of the napari-czitools plugin (still in alpha - expect issues...) - open complete CZI images or subsets - read CZI metadata pypi.org/project/napa... or github.com/sebi06/napar...

I don't want it near me and I'm in an AI department FWIW. openletter.earth/open-letter-...
