My first SiMView project and it was such a fun one. Especially working with my favorite organism :) there is never anything wrong about staring at developing Drosophila in 4D!

We’ve had an incredible experience being hosted at the AIC at Janelia for iPALM imaging. Tremendous support and expertise.
If your project could benefit from advanced imaging, check out their instruments (FIB-SEM, iPALM, LLSM and others) and get in touch.👇
