Attendees will also have the exclusive opportunity to explore the Nikon AX-NSPARC confocal microscope with FLIM, tailored for cutting-edge plant imaging.
Join us for a one-day conference designed for plant scientists to share knowledge, insights, and experiences in using light microscopy for plant imaging. This event will highlight how advanced imaging techniques are driving discovery and deepening our understanding of plant biology.
Jamie's paper uses both confocal microscopy and TEM imaging to show that the complex glycosylation of sEVs means that they could be used for early diagnosis of breast cancer

It also identifies novel bundles of filaments on the Leishmania flagellum. The protein KIAP2 is a key component of these filaments, which are important for adhesion to the insect vector (in this case sand flies)
The flagellar attachment zone (FAZ) proteins are important for modifying and remodeling the flagellum for attachment and adhesion to the insect vector. Flagellum remodeling such as this is a general feature of many parasites.
This work identifies proteins that are key to the life cycle and transmission of the parasite Leishmania, which causes the tropical disease leishmaniasis.
New paper alert! Congratulations to Barrack Owino on the first publication from his PhD studies- hopefully the first of many! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Did you know that when you image fixed Plasmodium flagella at super-resolution, you can even see where they lie over each other, like strands of spaghetti? I didn't either until this afternoon 🔬
Taken with our Nikon NSPARC confocal, with thanks to Dr Molly Hair and Prof Sue Vaughan for the samples!
If you would like to attend a #microscopy or #bioimageanalysis training course in the next 6 months but don’t have funding, check out our Microscopy Training Grant from @jcellsci.bsky.social and @focalplane.bsky.social.
Congrats to Dr. Ryan Pink & PhD student Bethy Airstone on securing an #STFC#Research grant to access the ISIS Neutron & Muon Source at Harwell. They’re using neutrons traveling at 84% the speed of light to study extracellular vesicles for more precise healthcare diagnostics. #oxfordbrookes
Last Saturday we ran the "Zooming Into Life" stand at the Science Bazaar #BrookesBazaar25. Thank you to our wonderful researchers (pictured) for helping out and we hope you enjoyed building cells, turning your phone into a microscope and peering at beetles, plants and samples from the Thames!
