Happy to announce "Technical Innovations Using #SerialEM: A Community Meeting", a new format of hybrid meeting David Mastronarde and I are organizing in April 2026. For more info, a preliminary list of speakers, pre-registration etc. visit

Yesterday, we took microscopy to a whole new level! 🔬 Nexperion visited a local kindergarten to explore the amazing microcosmos with the next generation of scientists. Did not succeed to install #SerialEM on this microscope, though.

A map of European countries with the product they were the world's #1 exporter of in 2023 (found on Reddit, source unknown) ... if this is correct, I am really proud of our Czech neighbours (while Austria is exporting "flavoured water"?!).

Technically not a gif, but...

Last week's release of #SerialEM beta testing introduces "Multiple Grid Ops", an interface to auto acquire grid maps, square maps, and final data from multiple grids in a row using TFS/JEOL autoloaders - for details see bio3d.colorado.edu/SerialEM/bet..., feedback from early adopters is welcome!
