Our image of a sea squirt oozoid (Thalia democratica) was selected as an Image of Distinction in Nikon Small World. Imaged with the Flamingo microscope by @metteh-thorsager.bsky.social at @biodev-vlfr.bsky.social in Villefranche-sur-Mer. Salp sample courtesy of Alexandre Alie.

Shape the future of light: PhD opportunity in photonics in the Huisken lab. Apply through the Max Planck School of Photonics. Deadline 1 Dec 2025. Excellent research network. photonics.maxplanckschools.org/apply-now

Postdoc opportunity in the Averof lab: a crustacean meets a flamingo—not on the menu, but in the light sheet. Track the origins of cells during leg regeneration in Parhyale hawaiensis using light sheet microscopy. Excited to be part of this interdisciplinary project. Details on how to apply below.

Big thanks to the organisers @paveltomancak.bsky.social @bundschuhst.bsky.social @cuencam15.bsky.social @ereynaud.bsky.social @olafselchow.bsky.social!

The course showcased both commercial and home-built light sheet microscopes, plus hands-on introductions to image processing and analysis software. A fantastic two weeks surrounded by old colleagues and new collaborators.

For Zebrafish, we imaged vascular morphogenesis and the extracellular matrix with Vipin Balan, Joaquin Abugattas Nunez Del Prado, and Li-Li Li.

In Hydra, we visualized tissue dynamics during regeneration with Emma Martinelli.

We brought our Flamingo microscope to the light sheet microscope course in Dresden (#LISH25). We captured extensive time-lapse recordings and are excited to share highlights from our experiments with Hydra and Zebrafish.
