🚨Preprint alert🚨 Mapping of 3D collagen architecture with #tissueclearing, @mesospim.bsky.social #lightsheet #Microscopy, the Schmidt #multiimmersion microscope objective & #deeplearning in healthy tissue & wound healing by Wout Houbart & Thomas Naert & Co! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Schematic on how to correct field curvature along light-sheet propagation axis.

We're still exploring how to improve LSFM performance with "big" detection air objectives, where field curvature often limits achievable FOV. Here, Steven introduces curvedASLM, a method to dynamically correct field curvature (along one axis) in axially scanned setups www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Fun to see photos from the @mesospim.bsky.social Symposium this last October.

The 10 Years of #mesoSPIM Symposium was a blast! 🔟🎂The excitement was palpable, and we were all inspired. Three days flew by fast! Thanks to all the attendees, speakers, organizing team, and our sponsors for making it such a memorable event! Let's shape the next 10y of microscopy together! 💪❤️🔬

Job opportunity at the University of Zurich! 📢

We are looking for a 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧 / 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 (𝟒𝟎%) to join our Microscopy Innovation Platform (MIP), an open-source initiative focused on advancing and making light-sheet and multiphoton microscopy accessible to researchers.

Image presenting two of the speakers for the 10 Years of mesoSPIM symposium. Background of the image is a microscopy picture showing blood vessels in magenta and glial cells in cyan on a black field. On the top left, the photo of the first speaker is contained in a white-rimmed circle. On the top right the text reads: "Hei Ming Lai, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, HK" followed by the talk title "Customizing mesoSPIM-based workflows for clinical 3D tissue Diagnostics". On the lower part of the image, the second speaker is presented in a specular manner. On the lower left, text reads “Anna Maria Reuss, University Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland”, followed by the talk title “aDISCO - A Broadly Applicable Method for 3D Microscopy of Archival Paraffin-Embedded Human Tissues”. On the lower left, the photo of the second speaker is contained in a white-rimmed circle. On the bottom right it reads “10 Years of mesoSPIM Symposium”

Is it possible to stain specific proteins and cell types in old formalin-fixed human tissues and make them transparent for light-sheet imaging and clinical 3D diagnostics?

Happy imaging!

🔬 On June 6, we inaugurated the first #MesoSPIM in France at INRAE Jouy-en-Josas & ENS Paris-Saclay! A big thanks to @nvladimus.bsky.social , @mgarbelli.bsky.social ,Angeliki Vavladeli & all speakers and sponsors. Exciting step forward for #opensource imaging & interdisciplinary science! #microscopy

Did you know that Universite Paris Saclay has its own Benchtop #mesoSPIM? Interdisciplinary team lead by @christellelangevin.bsky.social has built their own setup, the first in France, and organized an inauguration symposium! Cleared baby sturgeon or trout? They have it! French bioimaging is strong!

Stainless Imaging chamber for mesoSPIM with 3D printed kinematic mounts

New chamber mount design for our @mesospim.bsky.social - magnetic kinematic bases from @thorlabs.bsky.social for the win! 3D printed (for now) bases hold the chamber snugly for precise positioning between experiments. Fill port on the front allows for media addition without disturbing imaging.

Looking forward to the @mesospim.bsky.social #lightsheet #Microscopy anniversary symposium in October with @preibischs.bsky.social @adamkglaser.bsky.social @christellelangevin.bsky.social & many more! And to the next mesoSPIM decade! 🔬 Thanks @nvladimus.bsky.social & Co for organizing it!
