Hybrid Solid-Liquid Optics Enable Scalable, High-Resolution, Multi-Immersion Light-Sheet Microscopy Modern biology increasingly depends on data-driven discovery, requiring scalable and affordable high-content 3D imaging across molecular to organ scales. Although tissue clearing, expansion microscopy...

Proud to be a part of this transformative work from the Tomer Lab & @mbfbioscience.bsky.social 🔬

HySIL & SCOPE are the framework that power the new SLICE light-sheet microscope. 🚀

Submicron resolution, multi-immersion, and affordability:

Big data in microscopy shouldn't be a bottleneck.

I started Arnas Technologies arnastech.com to solve exactly that. We build custom #AI workflows to automate analysis for #lightsheet, #microscopy, and #OMICS data.

Amazing! The top looks like transmitted light microscopy. And the bottom is reflectance imaging so you can see the collagen matrix, right (from reading the paper)?

A Practical Guide to Selecting Compression Levels for 3D Light Sheet Fluorescent Microscopy Data A white paper outlining practical strategies for managing the large data volumes generated by 3D light sheet fluorescence microscopy, with a focus on selecting compression levels that balance file siz...

Lightsheet microscopy produces terabytes of image data quickly—creating storage, transfer, and analysis bottlenecks. In my work, I’ve found smart compression strategies to be essential. Here are some of my observations:

Checkout this webinar (8-6-25; 12pm EDT) on the SLICE light sheet microscope from @MBFBioscience! This high performance system is the size of a microwave and costs less than most confocals. I've loved working on this democratizing leap in #microscopy. #goodStuff #neuroscience

My #capybara friend is helping me register brains to Dr. Kim's devCCF (kimlab.io/brain-map/De...) atlas based on the CCF mouse brain atlas from the @alleninstitute.org. @mbfbioscience.bsky.social I'm, of course, using NeuroInfo for registration and cell counting :) #neuroScience

Why does the world's richest man want to gut the CFPB?

Because it would shield him from having to follow financial laws to keep customers' money safe — and give him access to confidential records about his competitors.

Follow the money.

JD Vance Suggests Judges ‘Aren't Allowed’ To Control Trump After Courts Block His Policies A slew of court rulings in recent weeks have hampered the Trump administration’s moves on issues like birthright citizenship and shutting down USAID.

So much for the #GOP being the party of "law and order"... and this is from Forbes. #JDVance www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

Microplastics in the bloodstream can induce cerebral thrombosis by causing cell obstruction and lead to neurobehavioral abnormalities Microplastics get in the blood and are eaten by immune cells, leading to cell obstruction and cerebral thrombosis.

This is an interesting article from that search: www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...
