Have you heard of Euro-BioImaging?

Posted by FocalPlane, on 23 March 2023

Euro-BioImaging is a scheme that sounds too good to be true: access to advanced microscopy technologies and the experts that are responsible for them, what’s not to like! The 35 imaging facilities, known as Nodes, that make up the infrastructure of Euro-BioImaging are located across 16 European countries and are accessible to all scientists regardless

We will showcase the specific expertise available at our Nodes across Europe

An interview with Alexandria Saravia

Posted by Mariana De Niz, on 13 March 2023

MiniBio: Alexandria Saravia is an entomologist, microscopist and palynologist. She studied her undergraduate degree in Biology between La Paz and Santa Cruz. During her undergraduate degree she became involved in projects focusing on bee conservation and pollen analysis. She spent a year in Chile, at Universidad de Chile doing research, and in 2019 went to

Fast4DReg - to the rescue of your drifty microscopy data

Posted by Joanna Pylvänäinen, on 10 March 2023

Fast4DReg to the rescue of your 4D microscopy data In life sciences, researchers use microscopes to study living organisms, such as cells or small animals. These live cell imaging experiments are usually performed over several hours, exposing the experiment to changes in the sample and in the microscope surroundings – causing the data to drift.
