🌑Goodbye bleaching, hello brightness! ☀️

We're thrilled to introduce two new Halotag ligands featuring @zhixingchen2.bsky.social fantastic photoresistant BD-dyes!

✅ Highly photoresistant, no photoblueing
✅ Outstanding brightness
✅ Cell permeable
✅ Outperform best in class fluorophores

Check it out at PNAS today. Thank you Alexandre for the collaboration!!

PK Mem probes offer long time-lapse imaging of cell membrane dynamics. Made possible by
Jing Ling, Yitong Liu, and all the collaborators!

Thrilled to collaborate with @zhixingchen2.bsky.social Lab @pku1898.bsky.social !
We tested new PK Mem dyes—gentle, photostable tools to label the plasma membrane in live neurons, making it easier to track growth cone motility & axonal transport. #liveimaging #neuroscience

Our groundbreaking Dark Sectioning technique is now published in Nature Methods! 🎉 It supercharges existing imaging systems:
🔬 Widefield → Confocal
🔬 Single-photon → Multiphoton
🔬 2D-SIM → 3D-SIM
Now integrated in Airy PolarSIM and #FlexSIM!

Excited to share my first post on Bluesky: I’ve recently been appointed as a Professor at Goethe University Frankfurt! 🎉

The Stephan Lab will use advanced bioimaging 🔬🧫 to explore how organelles collaborate to maintain subcellular architecture and metabolism.

🔔🧪 I'm deeply saddened by the passing of Michael Sheetz, a true pioneer in #mechanobiology.
I'll always cherish our lovely times in NYC, Singapore, Zurich, and Sydney. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends in this difficult time.
So long, Mike 🥺😔

Oh magazine maker, let us transfer our pretty papers to her, instead of nature communications.

Thank you for sharing this touching piece!

I always tell this "discouraging" story to the grad students on my class...

Do you know who Douglas Prasher is? Many don't, even though he is the person who cloned the original #GFP gene in the late 1980s. In my short history of plant light #microscopy I also cover a bit of his story - & why he is relatively unknown today, despite the importance of his work. See this 🧵👇

(1/7) Far-red dopamine sensor is coming! Excited to introduce our chemigenetic DA sensor, HaloDA1.0! #Dopamine #FarRedSensors, #GRAB www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thank you for choosing PK Mito!

One big advantage of laser induction is you can cause pearling whenever you want, in just the mitochondrial tube that you want, so it is very precise and controllable. Combined with STED imaging it has been possible to get some beautiful images of cristae and nucleoids during pearling

Thank you Christophe for the promotion!!

How proximal is proximity labeling❓ Using DNA nanorulers we found that TurboID/BioID are largely contact labeling, while APEX2 also bears a major contact labeling pathway in parallel with diffusive labeling.

Special thanks to @aliceyting.bsky.social for discussions

Thank you Christophe! Actually I would say the live cell STED dye PK Mito Orange is more visually impressive:)

Starting the week strong! Cheering myself up for the next challenges with 15 min of axonal growth cone dynamic madness. F-actin (cyan) and membrane (magenta) show their dance. One image taken every 10 s.🧠🔬
