ICYMI, our first preprint of 2025 is out, showcasing our first exploration of #SpatialTranscriptomics in plants using @vizgen.bsky.social #MERSCOPE.

A great collab with @katielong.bsky.social and @cristobaluauy.bsky.social at JIC, and Ashleigh Lister and the #SingleCell team at Earlham Institute.

The instruments at the SCOPE @umasschan.bsky.social are happy to welcome a new piece of equipment. The SCOPE staff is also quite excited about the new #MerscopeUltra. Contact us for more information if Merfish will help expand your research program. @vizgen.bsky.social #micrscopy #newtoys #dearsanta

Notebook page displaying a letter to santa from the Merscope Generation 1 in the SCOPE facility. The letter reads: "The SCOPE has become a Vizgen Certified Service Provider, and I am going to need help! There is a new Merscope Ultra and we would be best friends. Together we can run so many samples and do incredible breakthrough science here at the UMass Chan Medical School. Pretty please, all I want this year is a Merscope Ultra"
