Community collective: viewing z-stacks in 3D

Posted by FocalPlane, on 14 June 2023

Have you ever sat at your computer and wondered if you have the best representation of your imaging data? Would another software give you better (or different) results? Joy Franco (@engineering_joy) asked the science community on Twitter for their software recommendations for viewing confocal Z-stacks in 3D. Joy’s top request was being able to finely

Top 5 Tips For The Shift From Academia To Industry

Posted by Elisabeth Kugler, on 12 June 2023

Moving away from academia and into industry is often a major step, which is equally exciting and challenging. As someone who has successfully made the transition from a postdoc at UCL to the business director at Zeeks – Art for Geeks, I understand the hurdles, opportunities, and anxieties that come with this change in trajectory.

Pointing a tiny telescope at the microcosmos

Posted by Fabian Voigt, on 8 May 2023

I recently published a paper that takes inspiration from both the design of telescopes and the eyes of scallops to come up with a novel way of building multi-immersion microscope objectives (F. Voigt et al, Nature Biotechnology, 2023). Bringing together ideas from fields that usually do not communicate with each other resulted in the most

If you license it, it'll be harder to steal it. Why we should license our work

Posted by Robert Haase, on 6 May 2023

TL;DR: When we publish work such as manuscripts, code and data, the platforms we publish on typically ask to select license. If we find a nice figure on the internet, are we allowed to reuse it? If there is no copyright statement, am I stealing? If code is available open-source, can we incorporate it into
