💪 In this video, I go over some of the most commonly used colocalization metrics and explain the strengths and weaknesses of each, so you can choose which one to use and how.

Esteban Miglietta @emiglietta.bsky.social · Sep 4

🧑‍💻Colocalization analysis of microscopy images is one of those techniques that seems simple, yet is actually quite nuanced and seldom implemented correctly.

Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.
