🗣️ "Hey FBI, explain how it works!"

Today, we’re exploring one of #electronmicroscopy sub-techniques: Cryo-TEM.

💡 Did you know? #CryoTEM is available on many platforms across France-BioImaging infrastructure.

Watch the video to learn more and find out where you can access it!

Starter packs are still valuable but there is now a mature set of communities @bsky.app

So maybe for the last time (unless things change)

An encyclopaedia of starter packs relevant to 'mechanistic' biomedical science (>100 now!)...

...including collective nouns

It is a well known fact that doing a screen on a rainy Saturday will slow down time. Fortunately we have books and tea and snacks and cozy walks to keep us company. #biologicalimaging #cellbiology

Happy #FluorescenceFriday!

Very briefly got my hands on a @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social Lattice SIM3 yesterday - so pleased with how this quick snap of two (very pretty) live Golgis turned out! 🥹🩷💚

My storyboarding doesn’t do it justice - thank you to Ed for the demo & the beautiful image 😊
