This is all just so sad...

Trump says he doesn’t know who crypto tycoon is despite having pardoned him Billionaire Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to enabling money laundering before president freed him last month

πŸ™„
This is a microcosm of politics in my country:

"Trump added that he did not remember meeting Zhao, had β€œno idea who he is” other than being told that the multibillionaire crypto boss was a victim of a β€œwitch-hunt” by former president Joe Biden."

This is an airyscan confocal movie of mitochondria (white) moving around in a mouse astrocyte. Actin filaments are in orange and microtubules are in blue.

This reminds me of keyword stuffing webpages in the late 90’s to improve search engine results. Old dogs - old tricks. πŸ˜‚

Yeah for files >300Gb we write files to a scratch 4Tb NVMe on the local machine before processing in Imaris. Too many issues with external drive qualities.

Also if you are converting your file with Imaris directly (and not with the separate utility) I would change the default location from the system drive to another available drive.

Where is your converted IMS file stored? Local HDD, network drive? We’ve had janky issues in the past with files stored on network drives especially for large datasets.

It can be - but try this. Keep one channel monochrome (ideally the overall structural label like actin). Having 2 colors is less visually distracting than 3.

Yep - the cutout in the 3D print recesses each magnetic base a fraction of a mm so when the magnets meet the chamber is supported by the full surface area of the print. 😎

Stainless Imaging chamber for mesoSPIM with 3D printed kinematic mounts

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.

β€œtake stack of beads, inspect reliced images, poke again.”
