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

Quality assurance of segmentation results

Posted by Mara Lampert, on 13 April 2023

This blog post revolves around determining and improving the quality of segmentation results. A common problem is that this step is often omitted and done rather by the appearance of the image segmentation than by actually quantifying it. This blogpost aims to show different ways to achieve this quantification as this leads to reproducibility. Therefore,

Our featured image shows a Drosophila third instar larval brain with activated ‘Mosaic analysis with a repressible cell marker’ (MARCM) specifically in the Optic lobe, marked by GFP. This genetic technique allows for the labelling and manipulation of mitotically active clones of cells for the study of fate mapping or gene role through gain/loss of function. In this
