Hi Fans of Feedback Microscopy,
what would you do when you have access to the pixel stream from @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social inside @napari.org?
Btw, it works as well in Fiji&ImageJ :-)
Sidenote: Experiments started from "outside" do not update the ZEN UI. But they are executed by ZENservice.

I'd only dabbled with napari, but needed to use it for a paper we're writing. This is a quick post about getting started: from installation to a folder full of thousands of processed images, with gotchas along the way.

It was a fantastic opportunity to finally meet the people behind this software that I have been using for years and is so important for my work! A big thank you to all core developers who were so welcoming, and patiently guided participants in their attempts to contribute back to napari!
Longer wrap-up to come, but in the meantime: we had a fantastic and productive time at the napari hackathon at @globias.bsky.social 2025 conference! Thanks to all the participants and to the GloBIAS team for hosting us!
