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.

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

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

Posted by Helen Zenner, on 16 March 2023

QUAREP-LiMi (Quality Assessment and Reproducibility for Instruments and Images in Light Microscopy) is a community group of light microscopists, science communicators, business representatives, vendors and application specialists aiming to improve both quality assessment and quality control in microscopy. QUAREP-LiMi is organised into (currently) 13 working groups, focusing on areas such as illumination power, lateral and
