Featured image with Martín Estermann

Posted by FocalPlane, on 15 September 2023

Our featured image, acquired by Martín Estermann, is a 3D reconstruction of C. elegans transgenic embryos. Embryos were imaged live using a Zeiss Celldiscoverer 7 microscope. The 3D reconstruction was performed using Fiji. Histones in are shown in green and the cell membrane in magenta. We caught up with Martín to find out about his

'How they started with Euro-BioImaging & Global BioImaging (GBI) ?'

Posted by Mai Rahmoon, on 14 September 2023

As a continuation to the series of blogs called “how it started…”, where we shed light on the journey through the origins of various imaging communities around the world, we speak to Euro-BioImaging and GBI. Our mission for this series is simple yet powerful – by learning about the visions and goals of these communities,

Working smarter with LEDs and optical filters for widefield fluorescence

Sponsored by CoolLED, on 13 September 2023

Optical filters can make or break a fluorescence microscopy experiment. For widefield fluorescence, they also have the potential to unlock breakthroughs in high-speed, high-contrast imaging when used alongside multi-channel LED illumination systems. There are thousands of filters and dichroic mirrors to choose from, with the selection depending on the fluorophore(s) and light source. While imaging

A schedule for organizing international symposia

Posted by Robert Haase, on 5 September 2023

TL;DR: Coordinating an international conference can be a complex endeavor, especially for scientists whose primary focus often lies outside the realm of event management. A major challenge in this context is timing. In this blog post I outline a potential schedule of tasks for organizing an international conference such as the PoLBIAS23. As a senior

All things unequal – live microscopy reveals asymmetric RNA localization in the early mammalian embryo

Posted by Jennifer Zenker, on 4 September 2023

Authors: Jennifer Zenker1,*, Julian Heng2 1Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI), Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University, Clayton, Australia 2Remotely Consulting, Perth, Australia *Corresponding author Non-mammalian systems have been invaluable for us to decipher evolutionarily-conserved processes, orthologous molecules and cellular phenomena underlying early embryo development. One fundamental discovery from the work on non-mammalian
