Do you know those annoying layer lines you get with FDM 3D printers? Those layers you try to avoid or hide?
What if I tell you we can use them to make 15-micrometer-tall microfluidic channels?

I put up the code on github.com/sfmlab/mole2d for anyone wanting to test it. It's full f bugs, but works if you just need to draw a molecule here and there. :) And I'm working on making it much better (and part of a bigger suite)
BIG UPDATES!
OCTRON now supports the new SAM3 models (alongside SAM2)!
We’ve also added a global switch for Detection vs. Segmentation: Use the same annotations to train either lightweight detection or full segmentation models. Plus, we’ve added support for the new YOLO26 models. ⤵️

We've redesigned a practical course on cell biology. This will run for the 1st time with 100+ students, starting next week. I've made a graphical abstract to help students (and myself) understand where we are in the process....
#TeachingTheNextGeneration
We have integrated the Allen Institute's BioFile Finder app with IDR. You can quickly Group and Filter all images in a study. Data is served by the IDR search engine and supports up to a million images at a time. BioFile Finder links are on each study page e.g. idr.openmicroscopy.org/study/idr0056/
#RSCPoster 2026 is next week (3-4 March). Don't forget to register to be eligible to win a prize! Go to our webpage and register today ➡️ https://rsc.li/3XGGvzS

Indeed, indeed.
I'm sure there are plenty of papers around that were wrongly using cameras to monitor chemical reactions. Especially with the rise of the SDL, this is an extremely important topic....
Just because you see a color, it doesn't mean that your camera can quantify it....
Rewrote my Python bioformats wrapper (from aicsimageio/bioio) as a standalone package:
- fully bootstrapped Java setup (just pip install)
- lazy, repeatably-indexable Array object
- fully spec-compliant OME-Zarr group obj.
- xarray/dask exports
