This revolutionised our segmentation of coated membranes.

Membrain V1 didn't recognise coated membranes - lots of manual editing was needed. Membrain V2 - beautiful segmentation, chefs kiss!

Yes! we reproducibly get ~150nm thin lamella with very few failures and regularly run sessions for ~48hrs.

We have the Aquilos2 which is fab!

Our only complaint is the iFLM filter cubes are optimised for room temperature but the spectra of a number of fluorophores changes at cryo and so their peak excitation and emission wavelengths are filtered out leading to poor signal at cryo vs RT

@giuliazanetti.bsky.social something worth trying with our data maybe?

Both very well deserved!

Honestly no idea how this happened. The training data looked fine! 🤯
