Great to see one of our own Lucy Collinson picking up the Distinguished Scientist Award at M and M this year. Well deserved and a wonderful accolade. Congratulations Lucy! @royalmicrosoc.bsky.social

A beautiful tour through an AAV-PHP.B-GFP-transduced intact cochlea as visualized via lightsheet microscopy after tissue clearing. Magenta is a hair cell marker, yellow is a neuron marker, and green is AAV-GFP (relatively low hair cell transduction rate in this specific sample).

YouTube video by Francis Crick Institute Seeing the Invisible with Electron Microscopy

If you’ve ever wondered how we get high resolution images of incredibly tiny things, check out our latest video with @em-stp.bsky.social

They discuss how electron microscopes use beams of electrons to see things that light microscopes can’t.
