short correction:
page 18, obviously the beautiful neuron image by Ana Sanchez Moreno from @andrewplested.bsky.social lab, dendrites with spines are shown, not axons.

Our new 2p microscope got freshly installed and tested this week and is now waiting for you :)

Funding comes from the @dfg.de courtesy to the Emmy Noether programme.

To learn more about the lab, check out www.haberkernlab.de!

On the left, the image shows a schematic of a fly head, ring neurons and EPG neurons together with some calcium imaging frames. On the right is a photo of a fly on a ball in virtual reality and another schematic of a VR system.

📢 Join us, the Haberkern lab, @uni-wuerzburg.de for a postdoc studying neural circuit mechanisms of navigation. You’ll spearheading neurophysiology experiments on our brand new 2P!

⏳ Apply by 28th February 2026

New reviewed preprint 📄 from Menno Winter's lab using the UGA-42 Geo #photomanipulation device:

The study uncovers a new, highly organized way the medial and lateral entorhinal cortices communicate — offering clues about how the brain separates spatial and episodic memory.

As the year comes to a close and holidays approach – we want to express our sincere thanks for your confidence in us and the pleasant cooperation in the past year.

Wishing you and your loved ones happy holidays and a successful New Year.

All set in Philadelphia at #CellBio

The American Society for Cell Biology #ASCB conference has officially started and we are excited to meet you.

Find @swarnck.bsky.social at our friends from @89-north.bsky.social & Chroma at their booth #1116
and talk #photomanipulation, #cellbiology

I really enjoyed the spirit and hospitality.

Day 4 #SFN2025 in ☀️ San Diego

Still around?

Last chance to chat #photomanipulation & #multiphoton with
@martinbrill.bsky.social & @swarnck.bsky.social

Find them with their friends from Chroma Technology + 89 North booth (2120)

Day 3 at #SfN2025:

Our custom applications let you switch seamlessly between slice and in vivo imaging on @sutterinstrument.bsky.social microscopes.
Paired with our Rapp Holo-4D holographic photostim, you’re equipped for precise all-optical stimulation.

Q&A: visit Chroma and 89North booth 2120.

Day 2 at #SfN2025 in San Diego:

You can also find our solutions for #photomanipulation at our friends @sutterinstrument.bsky.social booth, number 600.

Just ask for Adam Goldring. He knows our stuff.

Day 1 #SfN2025 exhibition has opened its doors.

You can find @martinbrill.bsky.social and @swarnck.bsky.social with our friends from 89North and Chroma Technology Corp. at their both no. 2021.

Come by and let's talk about your experiments and #photomanipulation from @rappopto.bsky.social

Outstanding work by the entire team - congratulations to all authors involved!

It’s great to see the precision and performance of the
@rappopto.bsky.social Caliburn ablation laser in action — the level of detail in those cuts is genuinely impressive.

Beautiful pictures—thanks for sharing, @kasiagrochowska.bsky.social

Congratulations again on the new system. It's great to see that it's being put into action so quickly and successfully.

We look forward to more great pictures in the future ;)

Grateful to have had the chance to connect to many old friends and to make new ones at the incredible "Bee and Fly Neuroethology Meeting" at the Harnack house of the @maxplanck.de in Berlin.
The energy around new discoveries and brilliant scientists was infectious, and inspiring.

Amazing opportunity, join the Manzini Lab and become part of the Institute of Animal Physiology in Giessen!

It was a splendid time with @kasiagrochowska.bsky.social and Long Yan from Florida Lifetime Imaging.

It’s been a great pleasure working together - thank you @kasiagrochowska.bsky.social and the team for the fruitful collaboration!

All the best for terrific data and exciting endeavors to come 🙌

New insights: Muscles grow by splitting sarcomeres! 💥 Using our UGA-42 #photomanipulation, the authors showed sarcomeres divide under tension to stay functional during development.

Congrats to all authors on a beautiful scientific paper!

Wonderful work by @viji-draviam.bsky.social and team.
Congratulations on the publication!

We're honored to be cited in your work—exciting to see our contributions supporting cutting-edge research. Looking forward to following your continued discoveries!

A beautiful new paper about IP3 Uncaging with the UGA-42 system:

Endothelial cells pass signals by triggering receptors on neighbors—not through gap junctions.

Come say hello at our joint booth at #ELMI2025

There's some great coffee and beer to celebrate 25 years of @eurobioimaging.bsky.social

Just walk up the helix and grab yours.

We're happy to chat

A stunning new paper from Deqing Kong & the Jörg Großhans lab dives deep into how cells change shape and reorganize during development. Their toolkit? Precision light from
@rappopto.bsky.social
And we’re thrilled our lasers played a key role.

2/2 The study explores how localized Ca²⁺ signaling influences cellular dynamics using @rappopto.bsky.social 375 nm laser, and the Caliburn laser for microsurgical ablation of cell junctions - offering high spatial and temporal control.
Congrats to all authors involved.

Our CEO @swarnck.bsky.social is experiencing the Chinese Cell Biology Community at #CSCB2025 in Zhuai.

He made new friends & e.g. saw the new Zeiss LSM Lightfield 4D.

Special thanks are due to our local partners & hosts Echo Li from Chroma Technologies and Siyuan Feng from Evident Scientific.

Today, we were part of the Girls' and Boys' Day,
the “Girls' and Boys' Future Day”

A program to support stereotype-free career and study choices for all.

The pupils successfully completed the day with happiness and full of motivation, thanks to a great team @rappopto.bsky.social
