A cochlea imaged in light-sheet microscopy (right) with staining for spiral ganglion neurons (red) and inner hair cells (blue). You will develop AI-based methods to analyze these structures, for example via segmentation of the individual cells (right) that will support gene therapy development for hearing loss and a better overall understanding of the anatomy of hearing.

Part of sfb1690.uni-goettingen.de to study hearing, vision, and more.

Plus, you can create pretty pictures as the one below :).

This glass wafer could back up your phone—and last 10,000 years

Writers for the Superman, Star Trek, and Mission Impossible franchises all dreamed up the idea of storing libraries of data in glass.

Now, Microsoft researchers say they are bringing this vision closer to reality. Learn more: https://scim.ag/4cZ9aJd

Indeed! I managed to generate a decent online documentation for our #mesoSPIM project in 2h, something I was procrastinating for 5 years. Feels like magic.

I have mixed feelings about the music choice, but the tutorial is NICE! Thank you!

GitHub - saalfeldlab/lens-correct: Correcting lens-distortion in confocal stacks Correcting lens-distortion in confocal stacks. Contribute to saalfeldlab/lens-correct development by creating an account on GitHub.

If your imaging system has poorly characterized constant distortions leading to chromatic aberration, shoddy stitching, or false measurements (the answer is likely yes), you may want to give this tool a try. Native installers for Linux, Mac, Win under Releases github.com/saalfeldlab/...

I used this one for sealing coverslips in contact with argessive medium (BABB), worked well for me.

Silicon sealant, the type used eg for aquariums, is extremely stable, should work for this application.

Tip: never use superglue anywhere near optics. It slowly outgasses and makes optical surfaces around it hazy. For coverslips one can use nail polish, Picodent dental glue, or silicon from hardware store.

A high-resolution, easy-to-build light-sheet microscope for subcellular imaging An accessible light-sheet microscope delivers subcellular-resolution, multicolor volumetric, and live-cell imaging, lowering barriers to state-of-the-art performance.

We have two funded postdoctoral positions available. Topics encompass:

-Next gen light-sheet fluorescence microscopy instrumentation

-Structured illumination microscopy and other approaches to extend the resolution limit.

-Nonlinear microscopy combined with adaptive optics / phase conjugation

Agreed. Strategic quitting is a power move that can open new opportunities. But it must be strategic, not because one is simply tired and needs a vacation.

Your talk knocked everyone out! Everyone was speechless and could only say "wow, didn't expect that" 🙂Thank you for joining us!

The 10 Years of #mesoSPIM Symposium was a blast! 🔟🎂The excitement was palpable, and we were all inspired. Three days flew by fast! Thanks to all the attendees, speakers, organizing team, and our sponsors for making it such a memorable event! Let's shape the next 10y of microscopy together! 💪❤️🔬

Direct single-molecule detection and super-resolution imaging with a low-cost portable smartphone-based microscope - Nature Communications Loretan and colleagues present a low-cost smartphone-based microscope capable of detecting single-molecule fluorescence. This approach opens doors to personalised and widely distributed applications in diagnostics, biosensing, and science education.

This is insane. 13 years ago we bought a million dollar #microscope to do this type of super-resolution imaging. Today, all you need is a smartphone and a few hundred bucks of off-the-shelf components 🤯

"Seems"? What's the scientific evidence? Any data supporting that? This is not science, this is someone's opinion. 🤣

If there is a way in, there should be a way out.

Of course I did. So stupid, could get so rich now!

14 of my papers. Where can I get a settlement check from Meta? 😅

6 of my papers are on the list...

Your ICE driver was very honest, that counts for something.

Last few days to submit an abstract for #CBIAS2025 (deadline 31/08)!

We invite submissions on all topics related to #bioimageanalysis, from new software tools to discoveries made using existing methods. Early career researchers are especially encouraged to submit!
