We have just installed the high throughput microscope Acquifer IM from Bruker in the lab of Prof. Buchtova in Brno, Inst. of Animal Physiology and Genetics. This microscope is a versatile widefield fluorescence microscope, which is suited for imaging larger samples like organoids or fish embryos.
Are you interested in long time lapse imaging of organoids?

In this example, retinal organoids were imaged in high throughput for 3 days. The aim was to collect sufficient data to be able to use machine learning for predicting organoid differentiation just from brightfield images.

🚀 Our new paper is out @natmethods.nature.com!

Kuffer & Marzilli engineered conditionally stable MS2 & PP7 coat proteins (dMCP & dPCP) that degrade unless bound to RNA, enabling ultra–low-background, single-mRNA imaging in live cells.

Confocal stack of chicken retina 🐥 — from inner nerve fibers up to photoreceptors.
Layer upon layer of mosaics, each cell type in its place.
Birds have remarkable visual systems, and under the microscope, they look absolutely stunning in detail.

We have just installed a third HIVE server in Czechia. After Prague and Brno, we are adding Olomouc!

Researchers often get HIVE to handle data from Luxendo as well as other companies' light-sheet scopes but it is a rather universal solution for big data management.

We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

Happy to be at the #V4SDB 2025 developmental biology conference. Amazing quality of the talks and a beautiful venue in the High Tatras in Slovakia.

Good morning everyone! Welcome to Day 2 of the V4SDB Meeting 2025! Yesterday was full of events, but grab some coffee - there's still so much more to discover!

#LISH25 day 10 ushered in by Claudia Gerri from @mpi-cbg.de introducing us to the wonderful world of mammalian early embryo development, implantation and #placenta interactions. Showing light sheet data from ex #LoPaT - Michi Burkon 💕. Walk-up song with Italian flair came with sweets.

Really nice thread about the infrared co-illumination to reduce photobleaching of GFP.
I was aware of the Ludvíkova et al paper but didn’t realize that lightsheet is the main modality, which would benefit from it.
How many photons are in a GFP? — more than last year, and more than you thought. Here's a simple, cheap, and practical method to break a fundamental limit in fluorescence microscopy. But it only works in light sheet!

Excellent mid-course presentations from the #LISH25 student teams. Packed @csbdresden.bsky.social seminar room. Tons of data, visualisation, sample preparation creativity, and image analysis in progress. Lots of ambition from the student teams. I am impressed.

Second week of #LISH25 starts with Anna Kreshuk from @embl.org shifting the focus to data analysis, computer vision and machine learning. Appropriately, because our #HIVEs are overflowing with light sheet data. Very energetic, electrifying walk-up song.

Diagnosis of the beep at #LISH25: it wasn't the #HIVEs as such (still room for more users & data!) but the heavy work for the GPU in a warm room: #napari #imaris #CARE #ZEN #slidebook and #MACSiQ software (20 users) on a single GPU making this GPU sweat 😅 💪 We'll now share the load with more GPUs
26 TB. Image analysis is starting to heat up at #LISH25. The #HIVEs are beeping - overheat 🔥
