Happy #MicroscopyMonday!
This live image captures a larval sea anemone (Nematostella vectensis) that refracts light like a gemstone.
The vibrant, true-color image highlights the organism’s birefringence.
Imaged by @shribak.bsky.social) and @karenecheverri.bsky.social from the MBL’s Bell Center.
Happy #fluorescencefriday (and start of vacation!) to all those who are celebrating

Aren't monolayers fun? I think I have a new desktop background now. #FluorescenceFriday #Microscopy
Another outcome from the Appose processing hackathon:
Cellpose simple tile processing in Fiji, with #imglib2 and #appose only.

There’s still time to vote in our image competition in collaboration with #ELMI2026.
The conference kicks off tomorrow, in more ways than one, with the Core Facility Day and the ever-popular Academy vs Industry football match!

Microtubule comets in human iPSCs to kick off my first week of grad school! ☄️💫
I found this really pretty 🐸 macrophage. Looks like it has 2 leading edge trying to move in the opposite directions but one is stronger than the other so it got dragged along. It looks cool, nevertheless.

With a motivating push from @christlet.bsky.social I made a new Fiji plugin, CurveMorph. The idea was to create a tool for kymograph generation along the dynamic (bending/shaking) filament shapes (microtubules, cilia, neurites, etc).
The logo was made using the plugin.
