We’re excited to hear from Alex Johnson of the University of Exeter! 🎉
Alex investigates clathrin-mediated endocytosis in plants and algae, highlighting how photosynthetic organisms sense and respond to their environment through mechanisms that differ from those in mammalian or yeast systems.
Come join us online on July 16 to learn about PlantEx — using expansion microscopy to image plants at 20–60 nm resolution, and in multi-colour no less! ☘️🌈🔬
Thanks for this initiative! Great idea. Happy to see @blace.bsky.social from our lab @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social and involved in imaging approaches @sfb1381.bsky.social kicks it off. Hope to see many people online.
📢 Two weeks to go until the first webinar in our new series on quantitative plant imaging across scales.
We’ll hear from @blace.bsky.social and Simon Gilroy in this webinar chaired by @ajcellbio.bsky.social and @joemckenna.bsky.social.
🌱🔬Save the date for the second webinar in this series: Thursday 16 July at 15:00 BST.
Updates will appear on our webpage or you can sign up to our FocalPlane features... mailing list to stay up-to-date with the latest information.

Ultrastructural studies by Bonnett and Newcomb in 1966 revealed the existence of coated vesicles budding from the plant cell plasma membrane. This review introduces this discovery and early questions...
We are excited to launch a new webinar series, Macro to micro: quantitative plant imaging across scales, organised by @ajcellbio.bsky.social and @joemckenna.bsky.social. Our first webinar will featured talks from @blace.bsky.social and Simon Gilroy.

Our #preprint list is now up on FocalPlane. This week we focus on the latest tools in bioimage analysis and include a couple of preprints that simulate microscopy data.
Check them out and, as always, let us know if you have any recommendations.
