AIC at Janelia
@aicjanelia.bsky.social
Venture of HHMI to make pre-commercial microscopes available to a broad audience. Learn more at https://www.aicjanelia.org/
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 🔬
November 7, 2025 at 9:37 PM
For our final lecture at #InsightFromImaging 2025, @jesseaic.bsky.social is discussing electron microscopy and correlative approaches, including results from our FIB-SEM system, which can achieve 4 nm resolution in 3D!
November 7, 2025 at 4:36 PM
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.

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 📈

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.

Today's theme at #InsightFromImaging 2025 is imaging speed. We're kicking things off with a lecture by Chad Hobson.
November 4, 2025 at 4:33 PM
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?
November 3, 2025 at 10:31 PM
This morning at #InsightFromImaging we jumped into hands on image analysis activities, including comparing the pros and cons of imaging denoising approaches
November 3, 2025 at 6:02 PM
We're kicking off #InsightFromImaging 2025 with a keynote lecture by @scopeshifu.bsky.social on advanced microscopy and the resources available through the Advanced Imaging Center's visitor program 🔬

Wishing everyone a happy #FluorescenceFriday and a #HappyHalloween! This expansion microscopy visualization of blood vessels in a zebrafish is the result of a collaboration between Ellen, Jenny, @nicolasdenans.bsky.social, and @scientistrachel.bsky.social.

Our team is hard at work preparing for #InsightFromImaging 2025! We can't wait to welcome HHMI #HannaGrayFellows to @hhmijanelia.bsky.social next week for lectures, hands-on labs, and activities focused on designing informative and quantitative bioimaging experiments 🔬

Today we're wrapping up a flatworm imaging project on our SiMView microscope. We've enjoyed having @kinglhung.bsky.social and team from the lab of @ardemp.bskyverified.social here and look forward to working with them on analyzing their images!
October 10, 2025 at 4:16 PM
Today we're wrapping up 3 weeks of zebrafish imaging on our MOSAIC system. We've enjoyed having Lisa and Miray of @annamolofskylab.bsky.social here and wish them safe travels home!
September 26, 2025 at 8:31 PM
Today we're wrapping up an iPALM visit with @anirban-banerjee.bsky.social, @souravsgw.bsky.social, and team. Wishing them safe travels home!
September 5, 2025 at 8:12 PM
We've enjoyed having Marise and Samara from the lab of @melaniedwhite.bsky.social here to image quail embryos on our MOSAIC system. We wish them safe travels home and happy data analyzing!
August 8, 2025 at 8:47 PM
We are wrapping up a project imaging cancer cell spheroids on our SiMView system today. We wish Elizabeta Belova of @temple.edu happy data analyzing and safe travels home!
July 25, 2025 at 5:03 PM
Today we're wrapping up a dicty project on our MOSAIC system. We've enjoyed having Yiyan and Saki of the Devreotes lab here and wish them happy data analyzing!
July 11, 2025 at 12:46 PM
We're wrapping up a fun three weeks of drosophila imaging on our SiMView microscope with the Mavrakis lab from @institutfresnel.bsky.social Wishing their team safe travels home and happy data analyzing!
June 27, 2025 at 1:54 PM
We've reached the end of another full week at the AIC! Esrah Du from the Catteruccia lab is working on FIB-SEM segmentation, and we've enjoyed having Caterina Di Ciano-Oliveira of Unity Health Toronto here for job shadowing with our team.
June 13, 2025 at 5:55 PM
Today we are wrapping up a MOSAIC project imaging Drosophila with @blankenshiplab.bsky.social Wishing them safe travel home and happy data analyzing!
May 9, 2025 at 1:02 PM
Last week we wrapped up an iPALM project with Shannon from the @mrobichaux.bsky.social lab at #WVU. Wishing her luck with her data analysis!
May 5, 2025 at 1:12 PM
Today we're wrapping up an iPALM project with John Henson (Dickinson College) and Brad Shuster (@nmsu.edu). We've enjoyed having them (and their sea urchins) here at Janelia, and wish them safe travels home!
March 21, 2025 at 7:00 PM
And the Nejsum Lab (nejsumlab.au.dk) from @au.dk is wrapping imaging our on our MOSAIC system. We wish both groups safe travels home!
February 28, 2025 at 9:35 PM
This week we're wrapping up two AIC visits at once! @kylejacobs.bsky.social from UCSF was here for a project on our iPALM system.
