Featured image with Krystyna Gieniec

Posted by , on 1 August 2025

Our featured image, 'Unexpected guests' acquired by Krystyna Gieniec, is a 2D culture of mouse mammary fibroblasts stained for Acta2 (magenta) and Vimentin (gold), with some contaminating epithelial cells stained for pan-Cytokeratin (cyan). The image was acquired using a Leica Stellaris 8 confocal microscope.

Here is a curated selection of preprints published recently. In this post, we share preprints that use microscopy tools to answer questions in biology.

Announcing the winners of the Node–FocalPlane image competition.

Posted by , on 27 March 2025

We are delighted to announce the winners of the Node–FocalPlane image competition, which we presented at the Biologists @ 100 conference, as well as on the Node and FocalPlane. In first place is ‘Cell-estial bloom’ from Özge Özgüç. Özge’s image is a colony of live hiPSCs, with fluorescently labelled Lamin B delineating the nuclear lamina

We are delighted to announce that our cover competition winner is Antara Chakraborty. Antara’s winning image ‘Breaking symmetry’ is the cover image for Journal of Cell Science’s Special Issue: Imaging Cell Architecture and Dynamics; you can explore the table of contents here. The image shows a mouse embryonic fibroblast labelled with phalloidin (actin – green),

Featured image with Jen Silverman

Our featured image, acquired by Jen Silverman, shows a lateral view of a tuft cell taken from a frozen tissue section and imaged using structured illumination microscopy (SIM). F-actin, labelled using phalloidin, is shown in cyan and an actin bundling protein enriched in tuft cells is shown in orange. Reconstruction of the image was performed

Featured image with Sujan Ghimire

Our featured image, acquired by Sujan Ghimire, shows a U2OS cell stained for paxillin (Cyan Hot) and actin (Red Hot) following an immunofluorescence staining protocol. The image was captured using structured illumination microscopy (SIM) with Deltavision OMX (63x Oil, NA: 1.42) at Cell Imaging and Cytometry facility, Turku Bioscience.

An interview with Iván Rey

Posted by , on 14 November 2023

MiniBio: Iván Rey Suarez is a postdoctoral associate at a joined position at Universidad de los Andes in Colombia, and the Institute for Physical Science and Technology (IPST) at the University of Maryland, where he focuses on studying the mechanobiology of the cytoskeleton. Iván developed a passion for nature and for physics since an early

Engineer in live imaging, for a project on cytoskeleton

Posted by , on 24 August 2021

Job offers: engineer in microscopy. We are seeking highly motivated candidates for applying advanced optical -live cell microscopy in the field of cytoskeleton, using photoconvertible fluorescent proteins.  Science. Major cytoskeletal component of neurons, Neurofilaments (NFs) provide the structural scaffold of axons and exhibit a rich functional diversity throughout the nervous system (Bomont, Curr Opin Cell Biol 2021 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ceb.2020.10.011). Important
