Image presenting two of the speakers for the 10 Years of mesoSPIM symposium. Background of the image is a microscopy picture showing blood vessels in magenta and glial cells in cyan on a black field. On the top left, the photo of the first speaker is contained in a white-rimmed circle. On the top right the text reads: "Hei Ming Lai, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, HK" followed by the talk title "Customizing mesoSPIM-based workflows for clinical 3D tissue Diagnostics". On the lower part of the image, the second speaker is presented in a specular manner. On the lower left, text reads βAnna Maria Reuss, University Hospital, Zurich, Switzerlandβ, followed by the talk title βaDISCO - A Broadly Applicable Method for 3D Microscopy of Archival Paraffin-Embedded Human Tissuesβ. On the lower left, the photo of the second speaker is contained in a white-rimmed circle. On the bottom right it reads β10 Years of mesoSPIM Symposiumβ
Is it possible to stain specific proteins and cell types in old formalin-fixed human tissues and make them transparent for light-sheet imaging and clinical 3D diagnostics?

Did you know that Universite Paris Saclay has its own Benchtop #mesoSPIM? Interdisciplinary team lead by @christellelangevin.bsky.social has built their own setup, the first in France, and organized an inauguration symposium! Cleared baby sturgeon or trout? They have it! French bioimaging is strong!

Stainless Imaging chamber for mesoSPIM with 3D printed kinematic mounts
New chamber mount design for our @mesospim.bsky.social - magnetic kinematic bases from @thorlabs.bsky.social for the win! 3D printed (for now) bases hold the chamber snugly for precise positioning between experiments. Fill port on the front allows for media addition without disturbing imaging.
