We are kicking off a blog series with @focalplane.bsky.social to provide insight into life at the AIC, microscopy careers, image analysis, and more! Read our intro post here: focalplane.biologists.com/2025/11/20/a...
And, if you've ever wondered what it is like to be a visitor to the AIC, check out this post by @anjanja1024.bsky.social and Kevin Hamill about visiting to use our iPALM system: focalplane.biologists.com/2025/11/24/y...
In a new post from @aicjanelia.bsky.social and @anjanja1024.bsky.social, Kevin Hamill shares āa day in the lifeā of an AIC visitor. Kevinās team went to the AIC to image components of the basal membrane using iPALM.

Check out this new approach to colocalization analysis from @owfpuls.bsky.social along with members of the AIC and Advanced Bioimaging Unit teams, now out in @jcellsci.bsky.social!

š§Ŗ We are excited to share this novel open access paper on Phasor Mixing Coefficient to analyze colocalization, developed by folks @i2janelia.bsky.social and @aicjanelia.bsky.social. This is also the first technical paper jointly published with our sister imaging center @malacridalab.bsky.social!
Looking a little closer with the help of the @aicjanelia.bsky.social we used iPALM to see where septins were in relation to the actin. While they colocalize in the X-Y plane, septins are actually consistently below the actin stress fibers, closer to the membrane.

My first post here, we have a new preprint out from @aicjanelia.bsky.social! Upright LSFM is fantastic for live imaging, but not amenable to all samples - especially those requiring an air-liquid interface. We worked with Tokai Hit to try to fix that.

I learned so much from the @aicjanelia.bsky.social team at the #InsightFromImaging 2025 workshop this past week. Thank you so much! It was so fun and informative. I enjoyed the discussions between #HannaGrayFellows and the AIC team at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social. Iām off to do bioimaging experiments! š¬

Getting started with analysis can be daunting, especially given the many tools available. In our latest @focalplane.bsky.social post, @scientistrachel.bsky.social & Owen Puls discuss framing analysis questions to extract informative biological information. focalplane.biologists.com/2025/12/15/h...
