Transforming South American Research: Core Imaging Facilities and Light-Sheet Microscopy LiSIUM initiative in Chile, led by Dr. Anibal Vargas, is transforming South American research with light-sheet microscopy and fostering collaboration.

"Facilities like LiSIUM instill confidence and encourage autonomous use, helping researchers navigate the complexities of light-sheet microscopy and maximize its potential for scientific discovery"

Thanks @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social for sharing our initiative!

Excellent mid-course presentations from the #LISH25 student teams. Packed @csbdresden.bsky.social seminar room. Tons of data, visualisation, sample preparation creativity, and image analysis in progress. Lots of ambition from the student teams. I am impressed.

For the day five of #LISH25 Jan Huisken comes home, to @mpi-cbg.de, to show us what his latest project, the #Flamingo microscope can do. Walk up song featured stunning photography of birds - all taken by Jan who is the imager all the way.

Beautiful, moving combination of music, fish embryo microscopy, and Pablo Neruda poetry introduces Miguel Concha’s #LISH25 lecture. Walk-up song on another level! Like at #Woodstock. Fascinating and unusual #Morphogenesis of #killifish follows.

Light Sheet ❤️

This amazing image obtained in our Light sheet🔬, shows a chick embryo injected by Jesus Juarez with a fluorescent dye to label its vascular network.

One of the most relevant challenges in light sheet microscopy is the mounting of samples. Different strategies, creativity and a lot of patience are required to carry out this task!

Would you like to see the final result?

Towing of lateral line axons in vivo in a transgenic zebrafish embryo. Great imaging at the EMBO #DevBiol course in Quintay, Chile, using a Zeiss Light Sheet microscope. Huge thanks to Universidad Mayor, Microxchile, Leo Valdivia, & LiSIUM_Chile for allowing the use of the microscope at the course

And how the community of lightsheet users in 🇨🇱 is growing! How motivating to see posters and talks with results obtained in our microscopy unit. Camila Weiss and Ignacio Casanova, users of our #lightsheet7 were awarded on this occasion! Congratulations!

What an experience! We were this weekend at the First Congress of the Chilean Society for Developmental Biology at @udeconcepcion.bsky.social, with our stand @lisium-chile.bsky.social of the CIB-U. Mayor, promoting access to the lightsheet #lightsheet7 with support from @cziscience.bsky.social

in 2021, I was a member of the team @the.3i.social that described, for the first time, using a #lightsheet #microscope, the full nervous system of a mouse. I don't know if this has ever been duplicated. Sample from CIBR, Dr. Hu Zhao. Happy #FluorescenceFriday Nerds. BB-PEG. 6.5X/0.25NA
