Electron microscopy is @nature.com's Method of the Year! 🧠🔬🏆
@natmethods.nature.com shares why MICrONS and FlyWire are proof that #ElectronMicroscopy is helping us see the brain and its incredible complexity at a new level: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41592-025-02988-6

No problem, I’d be honored to be part of VIB, so there are definitely worse mistakes to make 😄
I’m at KCL, not VIB
If you want to learn the latest developments in volumeEM from the experts, with hands-on experience on our instruments @embl.org, this course is for you! 🔬
Improvements in LM (top) and EM (bottom) of our micro-sam model (finetuned) compared to the default SAM model.
After a long journey, Segment Anything for Microscopy is now published in Nature Methods! We significantly improve SAM for interactive and automatic segmentation in light and electron microscopy and build a user-friendly tool.

This is a flat grey image with cell structures in darker grey. Some of the cells are coloured and shown in green boxes. This image - Segmentation of electron microscopy images with μSAM - shows how the model can segment nuclei, with points and boxes from the user and the corresponding masks predicted by the model. Photo: The underlying image comes from data published in Cell (S0092-8674(21)00876-X). Image created by Anwai Archit using the μSAM tool.
This is a three dimensional representation with a cross-section showing dark patches in different colours and the outside of the structure with bright different colours (green, purple, blue, dark pink, yellow, orange). The image shows plant cells acquired with a fluorescence microscope that were segmented automatically with the model. The underlying data is three-dimensional and the image shows a rendering of the segmented cells, each represented by a different colour. Image from: Nature Methods: s41592-021-01249-6
Automatic cell analysis using #AI
Researchers retrained existing AI-based software on over 17,000 microscopy images with over 2 million structures to develop this new model - Segment Anything for Microscopy: www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html...

Another reminder, we are soon reaching the max number of participants so now is a good time to register #volumeEM
It’s incredibly hard to study lipids in biological membranes on the nanoscale. You need near-perfect information on both membrane ultrastructure and lipid density, which usually isn’t attainable. Lipid-CLEM brought to you by @mathilda95.bsky.social changes that.
