I learned so much from the @aicjanelia.bsky.social team at the #InsightFromImaging 2025 workshop this past week. Thank you so much! It was so fun and informative. I enjoyed the discussions between #HannaGrayFellows and the AIC team at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social. I’m off to do bioimaging experiments! 🔬

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 🔬

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.

Working with #TrackMate, participants at #InsightFromImaging were able to explore tracking parameters and the tradeoffs inherent in analysis. It was another fun discussion! 🤓
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?

I had a wonderful time discussing image analysis with HHMI #HannaGrayFellows this morning. I look forward to continuing the chat throughout #InsightFromImaging this week.
This morning at #InsightFromImaging we jumped into hands on image analysis activities, including comparing the pros and cons of imaging denoising approaches
