Our multi-immersion oblique plane microscope manuscript is online now.
A light-sheet system that can be adapted to different imaging tasks, including a continuous volumetric correction for imaging in media of (theoretically) any refractive index.

How can we use foundation models such as (micro)SAM to improve electron microscopy segmentation? Check out our preprint! We found substantial improvements for nucleus, mito, and neurite-segmentation using initialization and semi-supervised learning with foundation models.

Part of sfb1690.uni-goettingen.de/ that studies hearing, vision, and more.
Plus, you can create pretty pictures like the one below :).

ALT A cochlea imaged in light-sheet microscopy (right) with staining for spiral ganglion neurons (red) and inner hair cells (blue). You will develop AI-based methods to analyze these structures, for example via segmentation of the individual cells (right) that will support gene therapy development for hearing loss and a better overall understanding of the anatomy of hearing.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet shutdown is entering its fourth day with connectivity to the outside world remains at just 1% of ordinary levels; at 72 hours, diminished telecoms continue to impact the public's ability to access information and communicate with loved ones ⏱️

BREAKING: The Iranian anti-regime protesters have practically taken over Iran’s 2nd-largest city Mashhad.

به تکتک شما که پنجشنبهشب (١٨ دی)، خیابانهای سرتاسر ایران را تسخیر کردید، افتخار میکنم. دیدید که جمعیت انبوه، باعث عقبنشینی نیروهای سرکوب میشود. آنهایی که تردید داشتید، جمعهشب (١٩ دی-ساعت ٨) به دیگر هممیهنان بپیوندید، و جمعیت را بیشتر کنید تا توان سرکوب رژیم از این هم کمتر شود. همچنین از رهبران میدانی دعوت میکنم که تلاش کنند تا مسیرهای مختلف جمعیت به هم برسند و بزرگتر شوند. میدانم که با وجود قطع اینترنت و ارتباطات، خیابانها را رها نخواهید کرد. مطمئن باشید که پیروزی از آن شماست!
Yes
As soon as we kick you out
God willing, God will bring the feeling of victory to the hearts of all the Iranian people very soon.

Khamenei writes this tweet while Iran’s internet and phone lines are completely shut down!
The last time Iran’s internet was fully cut off, more than 1,500 people were killed in just three days in November 2019

President Trump, this is a serious offer.
We offer you this 4900 acres complex in Tehran as a gift.
Free our country, and you can turn it into a hotel & casino.
It is currently a shrine housing the founder of the Islamic Revolution’s tomb. You can do whatever you want with it

This is a direct threat to the President of the United States @POTUS.
Khamenei has shut down all means of communication, and is killing Iranians on the streets who are demanding the End of IR, and the Return of Prince @PahlaviReza.

@WhiteHouse
The US President who judges arrogantly about the whole world should know that tyrants & arrogant rulers of the world, such as Pharaoh, Nimrod, Mohammad Reza [Pahlavi] & other such rulers saw their downfall when they were at the peak of their hubris. He too will fall.

Ali Khameni is a dictator who has ruled for 37 years. Throughout his tenure, his government has been responsible for several crimes, including human rights abuses against the citizens of Iran, the support for terrorist organizations, and shooting down civilian airliners.

The Islamic brutal regime is killing people in Iran.
Internet shut down. Voices silenced. Truth buried.
This is fear clinging to power—not strength.
The world must not look away.

Self-organized criticality can occur in cellular systems, but its origins remain unclear. Now it is shown that cytoskeletal criticality is influenced by the F-actin architecture and myosin active stress.

We are excited to share our development of a new 10X lens with NA=0.50 over a 7.2 mm FOV and a 35 mm working distance (water), fully corrected from 400-850 nm. This lens will power our upcoming ExA-SPIM "2" and is available for dissemination - please get in touch if interested!
