Another aspect to consider is how much colors are saturated, depending on the LUT, the screen type and settings it can make a huge difference on data readability. Green Fire Blue is popular but really saturated

Not all colormaps are created equal. Notice the nonlinear brightness scaling in two very popular ImageJ LUTs! (Glow & GFB)

Let's start the week with this movie kindly shared by @loxstoplox.bsky.social
The movie shows a mouse embryo labeled with Formin-2-GFP and SPY650-DNA during nuclear envelope breakdown. Note the nuclear dilution of Formin-2-GFP immediately before the SPY650-DNA labeled chromosomes start compaction.

New findings in Science demonstrate that successful mitosis may draw on more mechanisms than commonly assumed.

I’m excited to announce that my paper describing non-canonical mitotic mechanisms in the early mouse embryo is out in @science.org ! (link at end of 🧵)

What started as a brief chat with @buvansr.bsky.social and @vgelfand.bsky.social at the 2023 CellBio meeting @ascbiology.bsky.social has grown into our published collaborative work on single vimentin IF dynamics and organization in cells. Love when stuff like that happens.
Renganathan, Moor, @vgelfand.bsky.social et al. use single-particle tracking to show that #vimentin intermediate filaments display active movement throughout the cell, with individual filaments within a bundle moving independently rupress.org/jcb/article/...
