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.
