#FluorescenceFriday: getting ready for #GEF25, playing with Ciarán's stunning ExM data

I gave a talk at Blender Conference yesterday, showing how biological volumes work, and how to visualize them in Blender 😋 youtu.be/WPajSWX730o?... #bcon25

A cell finding its way through the matrix, imaged with @joycemeiri.bsky.social on LLS.

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

🐌💫 Snail embryos never looked so fabulous!
Tubulin (white), phospho-histone H3 (pink), and F-Actin (cyan) light up this early stage like a cytoskeletal disco ball.

when you open a service you've been using for a decade only to find it out it caught the virus

it never gets old...... #microtubule dynamics - the fireworks of EB comets #microscopy

HFF cells stained for DNA ⚪, intermediate filaments 🟠, microtubules 🔴 and actin 🔵.

In the context of our @reviewcommons.org revision process, I'm happy to announce Microscopy Nodes v2.2.0!
This packs lots of new fun features, including new color management 🌈, clearer transparency handling 🫥, custom default settings 🔧 and more!
Preprint at doi.org/10.1101/2025...

...and big thanks to @jiwasa.bsky.social for making this amazing video to illustrate the strand-sliding mechanism!

Designing for 3D Printing by Rahix is a master class guide! Comprehensive, well written and illustrated, it's essential reading for anyone designing mechanical parts.

This time-lapse captures 17 hours of axonal growth from a chicken dorsal root ganglion explant, visualized through the actin cytoskeleton using live confocal imaging.
I just submitted this video to the Nikon Small World in Motion competition. Today is the last day to upload yours! 😉

#TeamTomo is going to be all over chromatin structure and organization in the next years. Beautiful efforts like this are only the beginning! 🧪🧶🧬🔬

Asgard archaea have actin - but what about microtubules? Where do they come from? 🧐 Our new paper www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... by @xujwet.bsky.social & @florianwollweber.bsky.social, in collaboration with the Schleper & Wieczorek labs, describes tiny Asgard microtubules! #TeamTomo #ArchaeaSky 1/6

What a nice sight to wake up to 😊🌀
The amazing work of @cellarchlab.com, @florentwaltz.bsky.social and their team made it on the cover of @science.org and I had the honor to create the visuals!

I hope you like this ATP (animated title page 😉 you see what I did there?).

I've been wanted to to work with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data for a while.

Thank you www.diffusion-imaging.com/2012/11/fibe... for all the info and data. It is so beautiful!

Here are some nice mushrooms

It would only be appropriate to post about the #geometrynodes #microtubule here too. For a full introduction, I have prepared the world's least professional youtube video.
