BigVolumeBrowser: a new 3D multi volume/mesh/point clould (SMLM) data viewer
Hello everyone, I’d like to share with you another 3D viewer for FIJI, BigVolumeBrowser (full documentation link). It‘s a first initial public release, so there is still space for improvements. Le...

ahah IT WORKS look it's a C² dual quaternion B-spline!!

this is interpolating *poses* in dual quaternion form, coupling position and rotation, instead of treating them independently (this is a really neat thing!!)

In our new #Preprint, we pilot a revolutionary new idea: no supplemental data (it has 21 figures, though):

Multiplexed imaging of G-proteins and ERK activity upon activation of CaSR
We have previously shown that the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) activates different G proteins and second messengers in single cells, and that GPCR and G protein-mediated ERK activity can be highly ...

We just released a new major version of TrackMate (v8), the cell and organelle tracking plugin of Fiji.

It ships many new features, detailed below, but that are articulated around the following:

Turns out, there are fully opened LIDAR point scans of the whole Netherlands surface available geotiles.nl With up to 25 cm.
It was hard not to load our building and around it into #bigvolumebrowser (22 M points + Fire LUT for height)

Felix Zhou's u-Segment3D is out:

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It leverages 2D cell segmentations from orthoviews to generate a ‘consensus’ 3D segmentation.

It does a great job on segmenting densely packed samples, and we have used the algorithm in many applications.

A timelapse movie (unpublished data) from the lab.

In the movie, the nucleus is moving towards the base of the polarized root hair cell.

I'd only dabbled with napari, but needed to use it for a paper we're writing. This is a quick post about getting started: from installation to a folder full of thousands of processed images, with gotchas along the way.

We are planning the build of a light sheet setup and are considering a Powell lens to generate the sheet.
I've not been able to find a discussion of the pros and cons in literature, so if you ever used a Powell lens or have considered using one in your setup, I would love to hear your opinion. THX!

Tracking has always been at the ❤️ of the scientific method, from planetary motion to single particles.

Weiqing’s thesis intro on tracking was so beautiful we turned it into a perspective in JCP who then selected it as a #Scilight.

Take a look! 😊
