Well this is extremely flattering - our analysis of IFT in live beating flagella has been featured by a JCB spotlight article. Thank you to Aline and Philippe for such a nice summary. rupress.org/jcb/article/223/…

A pleasure to be in Cape Town to help with this course 😎 – at Cape Town, South Africa
It was really incredible to watch biologists and engineers alike build up a fully functional fluorescence microscope from individual parts in a matter of minutes! We hosted 20 researchers from around Africa for an openScopes workshop @AMI_microscopy #openScopesAfrica

Day 1 of openScopes Africa in-person workshop is currently underway at @UCT_news @UCTIDM. Participants from across Africa have gathered in South Africa to delve into the intricacies of openScopes and its practical applications. #openScopesAfrica2024

Great to be back in France for @ParisNeuro 2024! The rig has gone together surprisingly smoothly and it was a pleasure to meet the students and catch up with the other teachers. Thanks to the course organisers and to @Cairn_Research @CairnGmbH @CairnSolutions @Sensapex @ScopPro

Fantastic work from a fantastic human, well done @samofmidworld #proudpi – at Rome, Lazio
Excited to finally share my first first-author paper out now in @NatureComms! 🔬 SMLFM offers a much-needed optical solution in 3D-SMLM, enabling a 10x speed advantage in single molecule imaging and tracking over large volumes! 🦠 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Great looking booth! We are delighted to be in attendance with our partners @CrestOptics at @HinxtonHall in Cambridge for #WORD2024 (World Organoid Research Day) . Do come and say hi if you are there - booth 25 #microscopy
Exciting first day at World #Organoid Research Day in Cambridge! Booth visits, poster sessions, talks, and some relaxation time. Ready for day two with renewed motivation! Find us and @Cairn_Research at booth #25 showcasing our 3D imaging! @OrganoidSphero1 #WORD2024

As always, great fun putting this together with @Jezpersonal The M25 tried to defeat us but failed 😂. @NikonInst FN1, @Cairn_Research OptoSplit II BP, @coolLEDltd pE4000, @Photometrics 95B ready for some interesting FRET experiments with Drosophila (“sliced and diced”) samples

🔬 Bliq is here to help enable your imaging, just check out what we’ve been up to during our recent visit to Cairn Research in the UK! It was a delight to visit @Cairn_Research and to have the opportunity to do some imaging with our SPARQ module on their openFrame system, which offers additional capability to this already highly extensible and modular microscope. SPARQ: bliqphotonics.com/solutions/… openFrame: cairn-research.co.uk/product… Very convincing results - see for yourself! 👇 #Microscope #ModularMicroscope #Microscopy #Imaging

The papers are coming thick and fast Andy, nice one 😊
Another piece of great work, thanks to everyone who contributed to the manuscript, it was a great team effort. It is relevant work and a great development in longitudinal monitoring of effects of drugs and also for disease modeling. cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S…
