Democratising Microscopy in Latin America: Imaging Across Scales and Regions

Posted by , on 25 November 2024

In 2025, The Company of Biologists will host a Workshop on Democratising Microscopy in Latin America in Baños de Agua Santa, Ecuador. The Workshop organisers,  Constadina Arvanitis, Mario Del Rosario, Helena De la Torre, Mariana De Niz, Maria Fernanda Latorre Barragán and Licyel Lenny Paulas Condori, have put together a fantastic programme for the event

Bridging Imaging Users to Imaging Analysis - 2024

Posted by , on 13 November 2024

The Center for Open Bioimage Analysis (COBA), BioImaging North America (BINA), the Royal Microscopical Society (RMS), and Global BioImage Analysts (GloBIAS) are conducting a biennial survey to understand the needs of the imaging community and shape future tools and resources for image analysis. What is image analysis? If you’ve made quantitative measurements on your microscopy

Structural Repetition Detector (SReD): quantitative mapping of molecular complexes through microscopy

Posted by , on 23 September 2024

Unbiased, multi-dimensional, multi-scale and GPU-accelerated analysis of structural patterns across all microscopy modalities From biomolecules to larger assemblies and cellular architectures, molecular structures govern biological processes. Identifying these repetitive patterns is essential to understand their functions and the underlying biological mechanisms. While microscopy offers molecular-level detail, manually detecting structural motifs is labor-intensive, susceptible to bias,

Interview with Piyush Daga

Posted by , on 3 September 2024

Piyush was one of the three-minute talk presenters at our recent science communication event, SciCommConnect. At the event, which we co-hosted with the Node and preLights, we were treated to fantastic talks on a range of topics. Piyush’s talk really stood out to us, not least because of the striking microscopy image on his slide.

MicroList and FocalPlane join forces

Posted by , on 2 September 2024

MicroList’s database of resources are now available on FocalPlane. The resources, which have been created by the global imaging community, are presented as cards that are divided into community resources, education resources and tools. The database is fully searchable using our search bar or can be filtered using a variety of categories.
