jekely, New paper from Ikeda et al. on the biogenesis of chitin bristles in the annelid #Platynereis with nice #vEM reconstructions and a chitin synthase knockout.
Bristles are formed in a process of biological 3D printing. @biology

johannes_lehmann, Are you doing cell biology or biomedical research? Light microscopy-based imaging? If a facility for (multiplexed) imaging would pop up in your department, what would be your expectations and wishes for it? If you (would) run one, what is crucial?
I’ve applied for a (multiplexed) imaging facility manager job and would like to collect a few use scenarios (think tools, training, data analysis) to prepare for the interview.

Every stage of a #microscopy project requires decisions, and those decisions are prone to #bias. In this paper, we use illustrative examples to describe potential pitfalls, and also provide strategies for mitigating bias.

PPozzi, Oh, wow, what a warm reception! the fediverse science community may be small but is definitely welcoming!
As many suggested, here is my #introduction : I am a physicist developing optical microscopy methods for biomedical applications at the Politecnico di Milano University, in Italy. I will try to fill the fediverse with colorful images of squishy biological things. Apparently, I am also the new resident #opendata manager, so expect some posts on that!

gsuberland, @PPozzi optics fedi is always awesome. lots of SEM/TEM nerds here too!

philpem, (edited ) Comparison of Brightfield versus DIC illumination, Motorola 68HC05 microprocessor.
The quality here is fairly poor; my light source polariser is a piece of cheap polarising film clipped into a 3D-printed frame.
I need to find somewhere that sells good quality ~18 to ~22mm glass polarizers.
