A bit like a space movie! Are you sure its not from @NASAWebb?

Impressive efforts. To what extend can this approach help quantifying the mitochondrial topology/morphology in a given pathophysiological context?

Announcing our new and stable release of Segment Anything for Microscopy! We introduce new features and improve the tool to segment microscopy data with a few clicks, like the mitochondria in the video, first segmented automatically and then corrected interactively.

Together with UC Berkeley we are announcing the laser phase plate - a breakthrough in atomic resolution imaging. This is the brightest continuous wave laser in the world, 100 million times the intensity of the surface of the sun. Phase contrast plays an important role in microscopy, but it was thought close to impossible for electron microscopy, where it would require interfering with an electron beam. Holger Mueller and Robert Glaeser proposed exactly this using a standing wave laser. It has taken over 15 years to make this a reality. Biohub partnered with UC Berkeley and Mueller to support this work and to engineer and build the technology. Contrast has been the critical barrier to achieving atomic resolution imaging of the cell. In cryo-electron tomography, a cellular imaging technology that uses electron microscopy, the low contrast makes it impossible to resolve anything but the largest proteins within their cellular context. The laser phase plate removes that barrier. With advances in AI this breakthrough in contrast will start to open up a new frontier in structural biology, that will allow us to see the molecular machines of the cell, and how they assemble into far more complex and dynamic systems, and understand how they work.

This is a direct immunostaining using the frontal lobe of a patient with Alzheimer. Why is there so little high-resolution microscopy being performed in human tissue? There is so much data we can extract..and in 3D! (Dream Theater sounds appropriate this time) #FluorescenceFriday

#FluorescenceFriday #cellbiology #bioart The interior of the cell is a busy place, as seen by grazing incidence structured illumination microscopy at 30 frames per minute: Lysosomes (green) can become corralled by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER, magenta), but can also remodel the ER when they are actively transported at high speed along microtubules (MTs, yellow). ER tubules are also remodeled directly when they associate with the growing or shrinking ends of MTs.

New research in nature showing mitochondria can split into two different forms resolves a longstanding mystery of how mitochondria can simultaneously provide cells with energy and essential building blocks, even when resources are limited.
