Imaging nuclear dynamics and chromatin organization in a live intact organism: the design of the minimal constraint device

Posted by , on 9 March 2022

To visualize the response of the nucleus and chromatin to mechanical signals, I developed a device that enables their imaging in a live intact Drosophila larva.   Together with genetically encoded fluorescent markers, we can track muscle contraction and nuclear dynamics, as shown in Movie 1.  While the muscle is at rest, we can image chromatin

If you can detect it, you can track it - recent TrackMate developments

TrackMate is your buddy for your everyday tracking  TrackMate (Tinevez et al., 2017) is an open-source Fiji plugin initially made for tracking single particles imaged with fluorescence microscopes. It has now been updated to include a collection of new detectors and direct implementation of deep-learning models (Ershov, Phan, Pylvänäinen, Rigaud et al., 2021). In addition

Phototoxicity - the good, the bad and the quantified.

Posted by , on 14 May 2021

Our virtual meeting on phototoxicity was held in late January 2021, generously sponsored by the European Microscopy Society and enabled by the Royal Microscopical Society. In four hours, spread over two days, the five organisers and twenty invited participants discussed the problem of phototoxicity in live imaging, and how we can start to tackle this

Interview with Helena Chmelová, Ph.D. from the Light Microscopy Core facility at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, Czech Republic. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself – where you work, what your research focus is? I work at the Light Microscopy Core Facility at the Institute of
