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

Itโ€™s great to see the precision and performance of the
@rappopto.bsky.social Caliburn ablation laser in action โ€” the level of detail in those cuts is genuinely impressive.

Beautiful picturesโ€”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.

New insights: Muscles grow by splitting sarcomeres! ๐Ÿ’ฅ 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!

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.
