We waited 1.5 years to write the grant, get the money, buy the confocal, and get it! This week, we have installed the confocal in the lab. Thanks to @the.3i.social and their amazing team, including Sam, Andrew, Daniel, and Leo to make it happen. We are grateful to CFI and UBC for the funding.

It was a pleasure meeting with everyone @fens.org #FENS2026 in Barcelona. We hope you were able to attend Dr. Osnath Assayag's talk on our wide range of #microscopy systems for #neuroscience research. If you missed it and want to learn more, contact us! (Link below)

Looking forward to #ELMI next week in Coimbra, Portugal. Visit our booth and learn about all the latest microscope technologies on offer - and see what our partners at Syglass have been up to. Don't miss our workshop on PlantScope spinning disk confocal systems, featuring PlantScope Marianas!

Mouse spine data #3DThursday from our partners at 3i! 🎉 Specimen from Pantelis Tsoulfas, imaged at #LSFM26 on 3i’s AxL light sheet. Axial sweeping helps preserve whole-spine context while improving optical sectioning across a thick cleared specimen. #syGlass @the.3i.social @univmiami.bsky.social

At @embo.org #LSFM last year, we put AxL CTLS to the test with #Argolight "3D matrix of rings" sample - they're not beads! The results speak for themselves. Join our webinar June 30 to learn more about high-speed high-resolution cleared specimen imaging. go.intelligent-imaging.com/AxL-CTLS-Web...

A shoutout to these outstanding scientists for their share of this Kavli prize from @kavlifoundation.org. A special bit of excitement when I read the news today and saw these two long-time customers of the @the.3i.social community, Os Steward and Erin Schuman!🔬 www.thetransmitter.org/awards/four-...
