New paper out💥 in @NanoLetters
High throughput single particle profiler with simple confocal imaging. We used this new method to study protein-lipid interactions, drug membrane interactions and biophysics of nanoscale particles from human donors: https://t.co/m1zXpqQj01

@faldalf @uniofwarwick @jitumayor_lab @Warwick_CMCB @warwickmed Congrats Falk! All the best! 🤓

🚨New paper alert!🚨
We all know that microscope lasers cause undesired reactions in our samples, such as photobleaching. Here, we investigated photoblueing, a light-induced reaction that changes the emission colour of a dye.

Did you ever think about getting started with two-photon excitation (TPE) microscopy?
It is a great time and fun🙃🔬
Therefore, we put some of the basics, trends, and pitfalls in fluorescence and TPE microscopy together. Now out in @CommsBio #OpenAccess

@nicole_robb1 @MuriauxD @VirAssemblyLab It was great to meet you. 🙂

[Jakub Chojnacki @VisualViruses]

From commercial & DYI setups, fun science experiments to great workshops. #MiFoBio2023 really has it all for microscopy geeks. 🤓

📣 Exciting news!

🔬 The #CMCiB has acquired the @Abberior Infinity super-resolution fluorescence confocal microscope, opening new opportunities for advanced research in biology and biomedical imaging.

Another step towards scientific excellence! 👏🏽

[IGTP @GTRecerca]

🔬 On May 10, a state-of the-art super-resolution fluorescence confocal microscope was installed at #CMCiB

Abberior Infinity is adapted for live cell imaging and is ideal for studying molecular details of pathogen interactions with cells, organoids or tissues

Massive news: eLife to abolish accept/reject decisions: papers will just be “peer reviewed”. Others can argue about this, but lots of interesting consequences. 1/9 https://t.co/FedRxI62iC

#STED-FCS is a tool for measuring nanoscale dynamics (in membranes). Never heard of it?😱😱😱
Let’s change that! It’s a powerful method! Here, @Sciezgin and I give a brief primer to the technology, review applications and discuss future directions:

After successful runs at science festivals my Virtual Reality Microscopy Experience is finally released for everyone to try out. This #VR -based educational experience shows how #microscopy works and just how small cells & viruses really are. Get it at: https://t.co/WO1PT29m5t

The crisis no one is talking about: we are running out of science's vital non-renewable resource, TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms)! Scientific papers have has now used 94% of the 17,576 possible TLAs.

We need to start recycling: of 1.1M total acronyms, 79% are used less than 10x.

Was looking for a better marker than those "fine tip" vwr markers and bless r/labrats because they conducted a thorough experiment https://t.co/w7v5B9JRXz

[Alison North @AlisonJNorth]

Woo hoo! Nature Methods highlighting the importance of microscope quality control and proper reporting in a special collection of articles. Thanks to @rita_strack and all at NM, and major congrats to ALL authors (me too!😂) incl @StrambioLab @QuarepLimi @Bio @BioimagingNA

[IrsiCaixa @IrsiCaixa]

Avui @VisualViruses i el Living Lab d'#IrsiCaixa estan al @CosmoCaixa per la #26aSetmanaCiència #SC21CAT.

A través d'unes ulleres de realitat virtual, els participants es poden endinsar en el món de la biologia. 🔬🦠

[Jakub Chojnacki @VisualViruses]

I am excited that, with the help of The Living Lab team and my lab colleagues at #IrsiCaixa, my #VirtualReality edu activity "VR Microscopy Experience" will be open to the public on Saturday at #CosmoCaixa Museum as part of Science Week #SemanaDeLaCiencia https://t.co/QhpwUjLJ0K

The plasma membrane is a very heterogeneous and dynamic structure. Embracing this @uiztok and I are editing a special issue on “Membrane Architecture and Asymmetry” in @Membranes_MDPI If you share our excitement, please consider contributing! More info: https://t.co/CwFkJF3oh7

@dwaithe @NaturePhotonics @MRC_WIMM Great, a new easy to use version will come in handy. 🙂

[Jakub Chojnacki @VisualViruses]

@christlet @NikonInst I am afraid it's too bright for a batcave..😎 And for microscopists as well who are known to thrive in darkness only too. 😁

[Jakub Chojnacki @VisualViruses]

@christlet Did you have to do extra arrangements (diffusors) to address issue of air currents from AC causing vibrations and drift or that was not necessary in this case?
