OpenSPIM

News for the #lightsheet microscopy community. Including but not limited to the OpenSPIM project. Operated by Michael Weber, Morgridge Institute for Research.

McMaster-Carr, the gold standard of web design. They didn't have anyone to look up to, there is nothing like it. They didn't use a design framework. They focused on fundamentals of design, not fads and fashion.

They didn't have to do it, but they did.

@PetePitrone @MesoSpim Never heard of confocal #lightsheet microscopy? 🙄

[OpenSPIM @openspim]

The first commercial single-objective #lightsheet microscope (OPM/SCAPE) from @LeicaMicro and @ASIImaging. Available with 40x/1.1 WI primary objective in inverted config or (later on) with 20x/1.0 W in either inverted or upright config.

If the sample can't travel, the microscope will. The modular Flamingo from @huiskenlab at #SPAOM2022, a high-end lightsheet microscope that fits into a Pelican case and even has its own Wifi router.

The X-OpenSPIM is coming along nicely at day 3 of #LISH22

[Robert Haase @haesleinhuepf]

My #LISH22 talk slides about "3D Image Data Science with open tools" featuring @FijiSc @napari_imaging @projectjupyter #clij #clesperanto are available #OpenAccess 💻🔬🚀

@Photometrics brought cameras to #LISH22 and they know how to generate Twitter impact… #cats @openspim beckons

[Robert Haase @haesleinhuepf]

Johannes @jogirstmair explaining how the banner image of #LISH22 was acquired and fused. He also brought the X-@openspim 🔬 to @CEITEC_Brno and will assemble it in the coming day. Everyone at #LISH22 can join, watch and help him 🔬👨‍🏭🤩

EZ Clear and Lightsheet imaging together make visualizing and investigating whole eye vasculature possible. No more flat mounting!

Our thanks to Dr. Franziska Curdt and Laura Ziegenbalg of @UniOldenburg who are using the #PrimeBSIExpress with an @openspim #lightsheet #imaging system for imaging #zebrafish and #trout samples, read more here: https://t.co/xysbBRxrAM

[Rita Strack @rita_strack]

I had a really interesting chat with @ReynaudEmmanuel and Abhishek Kumar at the light sheet meeting about real-life big data handling issues. (a short thread)

[Viventis Microscopy (Part of Leica Microsystems) @ViventisMicro]

Latest from @OatesLab (@epflSV) on emergence of symmetric somites in #zebrafish embryos. Lots of #lightsheet imaging with our LS1 Live. 🍾Congrats to @Sundar_Ram_07 for this study published in @Nature.

[Adam Glaser @adam_k_glaser]

Excited to see our hybrid light-sheet system published in @naturemethods! An exciting last project with @jonliu123 @UW. Thank you to @rita_strack for an amazing editorial process! Looking forward to sharing new light-sheet work from @AllenInstitute soon. https://t.co/hJHERo6qEp

[Pavel Tomancak @PavelTomancak]

Five days left to register for #LISH22. @EMBO practical course on light sheet microscopy @CEITEC_Brno. We got #eight light sheet systems, #bigimagedata solutions, @openspim & more. Don't miss this opportunity to try #your #samples in light sheet scopes!

I call this the self-straightening FEP tube. The temperature gradient causes it to rotate. It gets straight after some minutes by itself. Had to improvise due to lack of metal tubes 😁 @huiskenlab @spim @openspim

[Quantitative Imaging @QIatCSHL]

@FedeGasparoli is making sheet happen on our ‘Michaelscope’ @openspim

[Optical Nanoscopy @OptNanoscopy]

The @Harvard_CBI at @Harvard seeks a full-time #ImagingScientist to assist with operations in a fast-paced & exciting light microscopy environment 🔬😲 - Please retweet [1/3] 👉 https://t.co/vdwgSUJdhj

[Teledyne Photometrics @Photometrics]

When discussing #lightsheet microscopy we love to talk about the #OpenSPIM @openspim platform! Created to provide a cost-effective method for anyone to build a #lightsheet system for their imaging needs, read all about #OpenSPIM in our article: https://t.co/3XDR5MkvIL

[Johannes Girstmair @jogirstmair]

Our alignment guide for @openspim used in the @PavelTomancak lab 🤠 is now online at https://t.co/CdNDjA9R9S. Hope this will be useful for many OpenSPIM users!🥳🔬🔦 Special thanks to Charlène Brillard for the beautiful renderings 😀
