... The tool accurately
identifies areas of high density, assessing the quality of shots, and approximates the balance of
play during a match. My contributions have yielded insights into the momentum and balance
of power between the teams at any given moment during a match."

From the developer's linkedin page:
"Developed a sophisticated visualization tool — the Wave — utilizing spatiotemporal data
to elucidate and to help comprehend the complex events in a soccer match. ...

‘Wave’: the match at a glance Computer Science student Marijn Grootjans graduated today on his platform called ‘Wave’ which gives an at-a-glance representation of a soccer match.

Awesome

Blaschkakabinet De blaschka-modellen zijn de pareltjes van glas in de wetenschap. Deze natuurgetrouwe glazen modellen van o.a. kwallen, zeeanemonen, wormen en slakken zijn meer dan honderd jaar oud.

Are you aware of the collection in the Utrecht University Museum? umu.nl/blaschkakabi...

We are considering acquiring the PlayerOne Ares M for one of our upright microscopes as a very affordable option. As the camera has been running since March 2025 in your facility, I was wondering: would you still recommend it?

One of the perks of living in San Francisco is free visits to the Photonics West trade show. Sharing my notes for those missing out: nicost.github.io/microscope-t...

what is the working distance?

If you have time tomorrow, join my online talk about LLS/single molecule/microtubules and 3D data at @bioimagingna.bsky.social user group (18:00 CET for Europe).
I hope I manage to fit 25 movies into 20 cohesive slides and connection will be ok.

Last project of the year: self blinking JF635 + lattice light sheet + #BigVolumeBrowser to deskew both volume and localization data (and render)
@zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social

Bored over the holidays? Give our new preprint on how #microtubule lattice alteration by taxols can regulate #RhoA #signalling via GEF-H1 a read!

Perhaps a new mechanism of action for taxol #chemotherapeutics during interphase.

Happy holidays ✨🎄

Pfffffff. Chains of transformations are hard. It took me two releases to get the live deskew slider right and looking ok (hopefully) #bigvolumebrowser

Amen.

We like our microscopes…

My lab is hiring a postdoc (ERC funded)! If you're interested, get in touch!

Now published with peer-review-induced improvements in Biomedical Optics Express: doi.org/10.1364/BOE.579043

We continue to recommend the use of Sarstedt lumox dishes for ease of use and high-quality imaging performance: bsky.app/profile/jame...

The last bit is that it can also load and render lidar point cloud data. Not sure if it is beneficial for microscopy, but why not (4/4) bsky.app/profile/ekat...

For the (lattice) light sheet data, now there is an "on-the-fly" deskew mode with an arbitrary angle. So raw LLS7/OPM/Snouty data can be used. Gonna tag some folks, please try it @retof.bsky.social @kevin-dean.bsky.social @amsikking.bsky.social @microtubule.bsky.social @jsdaniel02.bsky.social (2/4)

New release of #BigVolumeBrowser. Many things were added: UI improvement (thanks to @kwolbachia.bsky.social feedback), pyramidization for BioFormats dataset, bug fixes.
Now there is an isosurface rendering mode (1/4)

Just look at those microtubules go! Happy to see our paper out in JCS ✨

Malina Iwanski @mkiwanski.bsky.social, Lukas Kapitein and colleagues discover that stable microtubules reverse their polarity during neuronal development.

Newest acquisition!

Woody Guthrie inspired sticker with a microscope - and photo of Woody Guthrie with his guitar that famously was decorated with the words "this machine kills fascists".

Make your own sticker against #Fascism

Woody Guthrie used his music to fight in the 1940ies. Let his guitar be a reminder to us that we all have tools available to stand up.
As biologists, we are trained to See, Understand, Document, and Report - let's apply these today!

Topical conclusion from @helenajambor.bsky.social
Scientists have tools to fight and make life better

congratulations!

Highly recommended

Check out this tick I collected ;-)

And by collected, I mean pulled off my pant leg after a walk in the woods
