One last Bob's coffee break at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social before our final #InsightFromImaging activity: Participants are working in groups to formulate a hypothesis and design an imaging experiment to test it 🔬

For our final lecture at #InsightFromImaging 2025, @jesseaic.bsky.social is discussing electron microscopy and correlative approaches, including results from our FIB-SEM system, which can achieve 4 nm resolution in 3D!

We spent the afternoon at #InsightFromImaging in the lab exploring 5 different microscopes (& 5 different samples!) to understand approaches for imaging depth.

Today at #InsightFromImaging we're focusing on imaging depth, starting with a lecture by @cmhobson.bsky.social. Adaptive optics (available on our MOSAIC system!) can improve deep imaging, as shown by these mitochondria in a zebrafish embryo.

This morning at #InsightFromImaging we focused on particle tracking. After a lecture by @jesseaic.bsky.social, participants split into groups to use #TrackMate to track our HL60 migration data from yesterday, followed by presentations on their results 📈

HL60 cells take on so many fun shapes as they migrate! This #InsightFromImaging data features cells prepared by Leanna and imaged on the @aicjanelia.bsky.social LLSM by @cmhobson.bsky.social

Continuing our speed theme at #InsightFromImaging, we spent the afternoon at the microscope exploring imaging speed, as well as tradeoffs in imaging scale. Video featuring imaging of neutrophil-like HL60 cells on a widefield vs the AIC's LLSM.

For our first #InsightFromImaging lab, we're exploring imaging resolution across a variety of microscopy systems. When is increased resolution really necessary? What trade-offs does it require?

This morning at #InsightFromImaging we jumped into hands on image analysis activities, including comparing the pros and cons of imaging denoising approaches

Our team is hard at work preparing for #InsightFromImaging 2025! We can't wait to welcome HHMI #HannaGrayFellows to @hhmijanelia.bsky.social next week for lectures, hands-on labs, and activities focused on designing informative and quantitative bioimaging experiments 🔬

That was challenging and big fun! Safe travels home!
Today we're wrapping up a flatworm imaging project on our SiMView microscope. We've enjoyed having @kinglhung.bsky.social and team from the lab of @ardemp.bskyverified.social here and look forward to working with them on analyzing their images!
