Have you ever seen the black box that is the inside of a microscope objective? Today Dr. Stephen Ross of Nikon gave a fascinating lecture on what goes into the design and manufacturing of an objective.

Happy #fluorescencefriday !
Decided to switch it up this week with an image of some nigral neurons from some of our labs #parkinsons disease work 🔬🧪🧠

It’s that time of week for another #fluorescencefriday !
Hopefully you won’t get tired of looking at #astrocytes because we don’t get tired of imaging them 😎

Happy #WidefieldWednesday Bluesky!!
A new hashtag to appreciate all of the wonderful widefield #microscopy work shared here 🧪🧠🔬
Today we are sharing this photo of a primary #astrocyte grown on cover glass used in the study of #Parkinsons disease, imaged with a VS200 slide scanning microscope.

We have considered it! The literature is a bit mixed about the effects of tissue clearing protocols on glial morphology but some of the newer hydrogel-based methods seem promising!

Happy #fluorescencefriday Bluesky!
This week, we are sharing a quick video of a 3D render of #alzheimers disease microglia from a Z-stack captured on our VS200 🧪🧠
We are excited to be connecting with so many research groups world-wide! We continue to be inspired by everyone’s posts each week!

“This week in…” series are really good. There are several with different focuses (e.g., virology, neuroscience, etc.) but are hosted by knowledgeable experts and offer journal-club-esque discussion of novel papers
