Our featured image, acquired by Julien Rességuier, shows the branchial cavity lymphoid architecture of an adult zebrafish. It is a 2D projection of a 3D multi-field of view acquisition of a transversal cryosection (30 μm) that has been stained with fluorescent phalloidin (inverted LUT – grey/copper) and DAPI (blue) to reveal tissue structures and labelled

StayGold variants explained!

Posted by Christophe Leterrier, on 19 December 2023

I figured it might be useful as a reference, so here’s a blog-ified version of a thread I posted on X about recently published monomeric variants of the StayGold fluorescent protein. Thanks to Helen Zenner of FocalPlane for the help! In 2022, the Katayama/Miyawaki labs published StayGold, a bright and stable fluorescent protein (FP) from

Image.sc LIVE! around the world - a live bioimage analysis helpdesk is coming to a time zone near you!

Posted by Georgina Fletcher, on 13 December 2023

Community surveys often point to the biggest bottleneck in excellent bioimaging science being image analysis. That’s why the RMS DAIM committee and their friends across the world are putting the fantastic image.sc forum “on the road” and staging a first of its kind event which we’re calling “Image.sc LIVE! around the world”. All the info you need is here: Image.sc LIVE
