The long wait is finally over: The @thorlabs.bsky.social 8 kHz resonant scanner is available 🔬! It would be lovely if there would be a 30 mm cube compatible & acoustically shielded mount as well, but I'm sure that's going to come eventually! #Microscopy www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage...

Philipp Keller, Benquan Wang, and Dan Flickinger at Janelia have designed a mirror objective for expansion samples that has NA 1 over a 12 mm FOV - a superimpressive setup! The only thing that's out about it is a patent application: www.freepatentsonline.com/y2023/000398...

One of the people I'm indebted the most for creating stunningly beautiful #mesoSPIM samples was Martina Schaettin - who tragically passed away in March this year. To honor her memory, Elkhan Yusifov created an award - submit your best #microscopy images & videos! www.linkedin.com/company/mart...

#Deeplearning-based #CRISPR DNA integration and editing by Thomas Naert & Sören Lienkamp & Co with lots of @mesospim.bsky.social #lightsheet #Microscopy data of tadpoles (and some taken with the #Schmidt #multiimmersion objective prototype!) 🔬🐸 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The @thorlabs.bsky.social LCPA2 lines are a little more straight, but a little wider as well...

⚠️ #alignment #warning: When aligning with the @thorlabs.bsky.social LCPA1 & LCPA2 "T-Shirts" for 60mm cage systems: Be aware that they can have quite incorrect hole & line positioning for fine alignment work! #lightsheet #Microscopy (black lines/numbers are from an reticle in the stereo microscope)

The culmination of years of hard work by Anna Maria Reuss & Co: aDISCO - a protocol for clearing & antibody-staining human formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue! With lots of @mesospim.bsky.social #lightsheet #Microscopy @ptrrupprecht.bsky.social & many more!

There is some cool new #photophysics in town! Check out tripletimaging.co, the startup created by wongcamposd.bsky.social Dalia Ornelas-Huerta & Mackenzie Dion to explore #multiphoton #Microscopy via long-lived intermediate states:: www.tripletimaging.co/s/dyes and www.tripletimaging.co/s/proteins

In 2019, the #mesoSPIM and #ctASLM #lightsheet #Microscopy papers appeared back-to-back in @naturemethods.bsky.social - now Jinlong Lin, @zacsimile.bsky.social & @kevin-dean.bsky.social & Co introduce the MCT-ASLM - a chimera of both for smart multiscale #imaging!

Seems like there is a new ultracompact #femtosecond #laser source for #multiphoton #microscopy in town! 50 MHz rep rate means a 2-3 m cavity if there is a single pulse circulating in the cavity - folding that into that compact of a form factor is quite impressive!

Finally created an account here - stay tuned for news & views on #lightsheet #microscopes, #photonics, #vision, #zebrafish and more!
