Telight webinar: Super-resolution techniques and focus on nuclear pore complex

Sponsored by telight, on 27 October 2023

If you are new to the super-resolution realm and you would like to learn a bit more about it, we have a 15 minutes webinar just for you. While there are several strategies using test patterns for super-resolution measurement, there is also a need for biologically relevant control samples that can serve as a benchmark.

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.

Bypassing 164 years of tradition with 'any immersion microscopy'

Posted by Alfred Millett-Sikking, on 24 April 2023

The optical microscope is a classic scientific instrument with a straightforward purpose: to observe objects in more detail than is possible with the naked eye. Many microscope variations exist, from the rudimentary examples of the 17th century, to modern computer controlled systems with sophisticated designs. Despite the variety, most optical microscopes reuse the same physical

Image checklists v1.0 from QUAREP-LiMi
