Going to #DynamicCellVI ? Be sure to pop by the poster flash talks and poster session on Wednesday to learn how to make any dual-camera microscope multispectral ! If you pop by the poster you can see a cool 3D printed model of the system!
Conference table with giveaways, posters, a Company of Biologists logo on the table cloth and roller banners at the back promoting JCS and Open Access publishing.
We’re all set up and ready for Dynamic Cell VI in Reading. Looking forward to talking to you all over the next few days

Light sheet lab. We image anything from cells to plants to shrimp.
@fedegasparoli.bsky.social @excitedemissions.bsky.social are running the machines!
These images show live embryos of animals (jellyfish, crustacean, worm, sea urchin, sea squirt, beetle) and one of animals closest single-celled relatives. They were captured taking advantage of fluorescent proteins localised on the outer membrane of cells, allowing us to observe cell outlines. 1/9
