"3SD: Rotational symmetry single-shot denoising in fluorescence microscopy" by Tijmen H. de Wolf, Pleun Engbers, Justine Perrin, Julie Nonnekens and Ihor Smal is free-to-view here: doi.org/10.1111/jmi....

... algorithm makes use of the symmetry often present in biological structures. By selecting a single example of a symmetric biological structure from a dataset, their denoiser algorithm learns how to denoise the entire dataset effectively.

"Single-molecule validation and optimised protocols for the use of secondary nanobodies in multiplexed immunoassays" by Rebecca Saleeb, Judi O'Shaughnessy, Ryan Ferguson, Candace T. Adams and Mathew H. Horrocks is free-to-view here: tinyurl.com/yk3suh7w

Using these tools, they analysed the binding properties of commercially available secondary nanobodies and outline optimised protocols for their robust use.

NanoInBio 2026 will support four broad themes, each underpinned or directly focused on microscopies: Bio- & Nanotechnology for health & environment, Bio- & Nanomaterials from labs to medical applications, The bio & non-bio interface, and Intrumentations for materials & life sciences.

NanoInBio 2026 will celebrate the ten-year anniversary of this biennial conference, and will be larger than the previous editions, including scores of internationally renowned speakers and their graduate students.

"Determining bismuth content in GaAsBi alloys by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy: A case study with multiple sets of k*-factors for analytical transmission electron microscopy" by Thomas Walther is free-to-view here: doi.org/10.1111/jmi....

...vertically to the surface and sometimes also laterally during growth, so elemental distribution maps need to be quantified. A suitable method is mapping of characteristic X-rays based on energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM).

"Microfluidic live-cell imaging of Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans hyphal growth treated with AmBisome and Caspofungin" by D. D. Thomson, R. Inman, S. Nye and E. M. Bignell is free-to-view here: doi.org/10.1111/jmi....

The authors describe the cell death and/or adaptive growth responses via live-cell microscopy to understand the morphological and cellular responses over time.

This special issue will celebrate the contributions of Early Career Researchers in the field of microscopy and we look forward to reading your submissions!

Deadline: 27th March 2026

"MAM-UNet: A multiple attention mechanism UNet for the eutectic segmentation of superalloys" by Meng'ao Li, Zhihao Yue, Haotian Gao, Bing Yang, Erren Yao and Qing Wang is available to view here: doi.org/10.1111/jmi....

The proposed approach offers a reliable tool for automated eutectic-region extraction, providing essential support for subsequent eutectic content evaluation in metallographic analysis.
