BigVolumeBrowser: a new 3D multi volume/mesh/point clould (SMLM) data viewer Hello everyone, Iโ€™d like to share with you another 3D viewer for FIJI, BigVolumeBrowser (full documentation link). Itโ€˜s a first initial public release, so there is still space for improvements. Le...

Finally, the first public release of #BigVolumeBrowser, so after teasers, you can try it yourself. For details, please check the announcement post (1/2)

4Pi-SIMFLUX: 4Pi single-molecule localization microscopy with structured illumination - Nature Methods 4Pi-SIMFLUX is a single-molecule localization microscopy approach that achieves a near-isotropic resolution below 10โ€‰nm in whole mammalian cells.

We are happy to share our latest work, 4Pi-SIMFLUX, which combines structured illumination with interferometric detection to achieve near-isotropic 3D localization precision of 2โ€“3 nm and resolve sub-10 nm structural features across whole mammalian cells.

Diving into video editing to update ABBA's tutorial. CapCut's free version is pretty great! (Now I will need to make peace with the sound of my own voice). Here's a preview:

Very cool! We tried this, and it worked beautifully! (We did not require the second film; maybe we were lucky! )

There's just one thing we did not achieve yet: the gel was moving quite a lot. How do you prevent that ? Does PLL treatment work with the FEP film ?

LUT color mapping for spots/particles rendering in #bigvolumeviewer is almost finished. The speed is mapped by color (middle) and color + spot size (right).

I managed to make #ABBA work with a white background and dark mode! #FijiSc #BDV. Useless for the moment, but I like it.

Nice! I see that you can somewhat work with indexing but there's a plan to do better: github.com/orgs/pydata/...

Automatic conversion looks great! But I guess it does not handle slicing (smth like subsampling -> increase in pixel size)

Pythonists & bio-image analysts: Any recommendations for a library to add simple metadata (axes names, dimensions, physical units) to a NumPy array? Bonus if it handles slicing gracefully. For instance img[::2, :] updates the output pixel size automatically.

In case you want to retrieve gifs or images from gdrive presentations:

1. File > Download > .pptx
2. Unzip .pptx file
3. Navigate to ppt/media folder
4. Profit

Filename are generic, but I did not find anything more convenient

Mistral pro and Claude pro. To be fair it could just be a glitch, but Claude had a lot of hallucination and mistral was a bit more down to earth in this particular case.

Blindspots happen. But mistral can be surprisingly good. Definitely useful to get another point of view when Gemini and Claude are sttruggling. (I'm quite disappointed by Claude recently)

It's tubulin-GFP (low contrast), histone mCherry and mitotracker. I think we should try sir-tubulin and replace mitotracker with maybe mitotracker green, if that exists. And yes, I concatenated the output of 4 3dscript runs.

FOV captured multiple cells. Tubulin contrast came out weaker than what I hoped for - a labeled MAP might give us better signal in interphase.
