It's really lovely so far - faster and cleaner than deepdewedge on the in vitro sample I've seen it on.

Very cool that it works this way!

This is obviously outrageous, but also thank you for the service you did before it got ripped away!

Wild but also somehow fair that the Thorns don't move up after a pretty clean win against the former #1 ranked team. So much uncertainty still.

Beautiful work and such a cool mechanism!

A result that was so cool we had to see more how things looked the rest of the time!

They are actually still attached to the ER with continuous membrane (and a macromolecular assembly that keeps them budded) which makes it even crazier - presumably there is still lipid exchange.

Its easy to imagine there being some repetitive artifact in time series data but not quite THAT identical!

So far, no organelle we've seen comes close to the replication organelles from langatvirus infections: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

More than beta testing, the flavivirus story is what got us into this in general! Not to mention the existing work of Fred Heberle, Ilya Levental, and Neal Waxham that inspired the actual density scanning and fitting approach we use.

Marketing aside, that 20 micron AFIS range does look pretty appealing for imaging big lamellae!

Her grandma was in the merch shop before the game last week getting a jersey and telling everyone how excited she was for the home debut - so very sweet!

Thanks! Whoever manages to recruit Atty (ya-ting) as a postdoc is going to be living it up - she led sample prep, data collection, processing, and all of the new morphometrics programming.
