McMaster-Carr, the gold standard of web design. They didn't have anyone to look up to, there is nothing like it. They didn't use a design framework. They focused on fundamentals of design, not fads and fashion. mcmaster.com/ They didn't have to do it, but they did.

The first commercial single-objective #lightsheet microscope (OPM/SCAPE) from @LeicaMicro and @ASIImaging. Available with 40x/1.1 WI primary objective in inverted config or (later on) with 20x/1.0 W in either inverted or upright config. asiimaging.com/products/ligh…

If the sample can't travel, the microscope will. The modular Flamingo from @huiskenlab at #SPAOM2022, a high-end lightsheet microscope that fits into a Pelican case and even has its own Wifi router.

Johannes @jogirstmair explaining how the banner image of #LISH22 was acquired and fused. He also brought the X-@openspim 🔬 to @CEITEC_Brno and will assemble it in the coming day. Everyone at #LISH22 can join, watch and help him 🔬👨‍🏭🤩 doi.org/10.1002/adbi.2021011…

EZ Clear and Lightsheet imaging together make visualizing and investigating whole eye vasculature possible. No more flat mounting! #EZClear #ZeissMicroscopy #lightsheet #OiVM #fluorescencemonday

I had a really interesting chat with @ReynaudEmmanuel and Abhishek Kumar at the light sheet meeting about real-life big data handling issues. (a short thread)

Latest from @OatesLab (@epflSV) on emergence of symmetric somites in #zebrafish embryos. Lots of #lightsheet imaging with our LS1 Live. 🍾Congrats to @Sundar_Ram_07 for this study published in @Nature. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Excited to see our hybrid light-sheet system published in @naturemethods! An exciting last project with @jonliu123 @UW. Thank you to @rita_strack for an amazing editorial process! Looking forward to sharing new light-sheet work from @AllenInstitute soon. rdcu.be/cNlyo

Five days left to register for #LISH22. @EMBO practical course on light sheet microscopy @CEITEC_Brno. We got #eight light sheet systems, #bigimagedata solutions, @openspim & more. Don't miss this opportunity to try #your #samples in light sheet scopes! meetings.embo.org/event/22-l…

I call this the self-straightening FEP tube. The temperature gradient causes it to rotate. It gets straight after some minutes by itself. Had to improvise due to lack of metal tubes 😁 @huiskenlab @spim @openspim

Our alignment guide for @openspim used in the @PavelTomancak lab 🤠 is now online at openspim.org/x-openspim_welc…. Hope this will be useful for many OpenSPIM users!🥳🔬🔦 Special thanks to Charlène Brillard for the beautiful renderings 😀

Seem an appropriate cue to announce a MM2 plugin "LightSheetManager" to provide an easy interface to all light sheet microscopes, be they custom-built or from commercial parts. CC @Bin_YANG_Optics @DougPShepherd @kschink @MarijnSiemons @Maurice_Y_Lee @mattersOfLight @openspim
There is certainly a software need for this type of microscope. We will also be working on it at the Biohub. Maybe we should do a coordinated community project? @mattersOfLight @loicaroyer
