"Leveraging modified ex situ tomography data for segmentation of in situ synchrotron X-ray computed tomography" by Tristan Manchester et al is open access and free-to-view here: doi.org/10.1111/jmi....
The authors present a methodology for deep learning-based segmentation by transforming high-quality ex situ laboratory data to train models for segmentation of in situ synchrotron data, demonstrated through a metal oxide dissolution study.
"Exploring collagen fibrillogenesis at the nanoscale: Tip-enhanced Raman imaging of protofibrils" by Maria A. Paularie, Emerson A. Fonseca, Vitor Monken, André G. Pereira, Rafael P. Vieira & Ado Jorio is free-to-view here: doi.org/10.1111/jmi....
🔬 This new open access Journal of Microscopy study presents hyperspectral tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) imaging of collagen protofibrils, offering chemical and structural insights into early fibrillogenesis by acquiring nanoscale molecular profiles of collagen intermediates.

"From cells to pixels: A decision tree for designing bioimage analysis pipelines" by Elnaz Fazeli, Robert Haase, Michael Doube, Kota Miura & David Legland is free-to-view here: doi.org/10.1111/jmi....
🔬Join Wiley on October 1 for a webinar presented by Dr. Nick Ariotti of the University of Queensland who will present his work creating a robust, structural analysis pipeline of macromolecules and lipid-protein complexes that does not require protein purification.
"From cells to pixels: A decision tree for designing bioimage analysis pipelines" by Elnaz Fazeli, Robert Haase, Michael Doube, Kota Miura & David Legland is free-to-view here: doi.org/10.1111/jmi....
🔬In this new open access paper, the authors explored biologist-programmer interactions to come up with a common language that helps to make connections between how biological phenomena appear in scientific images, and how they are able to translate that into data and analysis strategies.

"Automatic identification and quantification of surface nanoscale pore morphology in coals of different ranks based on AFM, SEM and LP-N₂GA" by Dun Wu, Jianghao Wei, Shoule Zhao, Lin Sun & Yunfeng Li is available to view here > doi.org/10.1111/jmi....
🔬This new Journal study employs multiscale techniques including AFM (Atomic force microscopy), SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), and LP-N₂GA (Low-Pressure nitrogen gas adsorption) to systematically analyse the impact of coal rank changes on pore structure and its evolutionary process.
The authors present three experimental corrections for quantitative interpretation that significantly modify conventional approaches. They demonstrate that sampling the nanodiffraction patterns with a pixelated detector removes high-frequency signals and reduces statistical variance.
🔬In this new Journal of Microscopy paper, the authors state that anomalously low values of the normalised variance in fluctuation electron microscopy (FEM) have been frequently reported.
"Contrast by electron microscopy in thick biological specimens" by Peter Rez, Lothar Houben, Shahar Seifer & Michael Elbaum is free-to-view here: doi.org/10.1111/jmi....
The authors find no advantage for TEM to energy filtering outside the zero-loss peak. A model bacteriophage capsid embedded in a thick amorphous water slab was used to simulate STEM imaging up to 1 micron. Phase contrast STEM methods should be optimal in the intermediate regime.
