This #Halloween 🦙🧛‍♂️ Alpacula brewed up #SMLM treat!
No more horror stories of no blinking & black holes ⚫️🔬Our single-domain anti-BOOdies 👻 #FluoTags and #SmartSecondaries now glow with self-blinking JF635b✨, delivering frightfully precise and simple #dSTORM imaging. 👉 bit.ly/4ffIkdB

We present a versatile microfluidics platform that makes multiplexed super-resolution imaging more accessible, reproducible, and high-throughput.

Fiery kickoff for the 30th Single Molecule Workshop!
I’m super excited to see so many great scientists and big names in the field gathered here in Berlin.
Let’s go #WS30 🚀

Soo on stage presenting self-labeling enzymes with weak-affinity fluorophore labels for (1) high-density live SMLM using DeepSTORM (doi.org/10.1016/j.bp...) and (2) molecular counting ... great collaboration with @kjohnsson.bsky.social @juliankompa.bsky.social 🙏 #PQ30 @picoquant.bsky.social
Absolutely amazing !

Our new preprint is up! This is the main postdoc work of @wiesner-t.bsky.social focusing on exocytosis along the axon shaft and its regulation by the sub membrane actin-spectrin scaffold: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Read the thread below for a summary of our findings 🧵1/11

Happy to contribute to this new work from @micoxscopy.bsky.social et al, helping apply SSQUASH to analyse the shape of spectrin rings along axons. Data analysis is the next frontier in SMLM, and I'm always up for chatting, sharing data and see how we can push things further!

New Preprint!
Ex-dSTORM resolves fine details of the molecular architecture of CCPs, the 8-nm periodicity of microtubules, and the docking site of synaptic vesicles at the presynapse of hippocampal neurons.

🚨 New preprint on bioRxiv! 🚨
Smart microscopy🔬 is reshaping life sciences—but progress is slowed by fragmentation.
@lhinderling.bsky.social & the Smart Microsopy Working Group maps the field & proposes a path toward an open, interoperable future.

Proud to see this preprint out!

First time demonstrated Confocal MIET DNA-PAINT and has been a challenging but rewarding journey, and I’m excited about the possibilities it opens for 3D multiplexed nanoscopy in cells.
🚨 New preprint update! 🚨
We introduce Confocal MIET-PAINT — extending our 3D nanoscopy method with:
✨ High multiplexing capacity
✨ Isotropic nanometer-scale resolution (lateral + axial)
✨ Compatibility with custom & commercial confocal SMLM equipped with FLIM
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Looking forward to advancing nanoscale imaging and molecular mapping at LMU Munich, and to many more exciting synergies ahead!
Excited to share — our project from @labtinnefeld.bsky.social with Heinrich Grabmayr from @jungmannlab.bsky.social has been selected for the CeNS Investment Fund from @cens-lmu.bsky.social !
