Your input is needed: Help us improve our new modular OpenUC2 Microscope!

Posted by Benedict Diederich, on 17 September 2024

We're from openUC2 [You.See.Too.] and are working on the next generation of our fully automated, customizable, smart microscope. To make it the best and coolest tool for your work, we need your feedback. We invite you to complete our anonymous survey (~10 minutes). Your insights will directly shape the design and functionality of our open microscope

MicroList and FocalPlane join forces

Posted by FocalPlane, on 2 September 2024

MicroList’s database of resources are now available on FocalPlane. The resources, which have been created by the global imaging community, are presented as cards that are divided into community resources, education resources and tools. The database is fully searchable using our search bar or can be filtered using a variety of categories.

Featured image with Shivangi Verma

Posted by FocalPlane, on 30 August 2024

Our featured image, acquired by Shivangi Verma, gives us a peek into the brain of a zebrafish. It depicts neurons in the whole brain of a larva expressing GCaMP6f, a fluorescent reporter of neuronal activity, using a pan-neuronal promoter. A 10-day old transparent homozygous albino larva was embedded in agarose and imaged using ZEISS Lightsheet
