"Review of expansion microscopy combined with advanced imaging modalities" by Natalie Woo and Claire Brown is free-to-view here: doi.org/10.1111/jmi....

... Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM), and computational Super-Resolution Radial Fluctuations (SRRF) to push the boundaries of achievable resolution in biological imaging.

"Cassini ovals for robust mitosis detection in cellular imaging" by Reza Yazdi & Hassan Khotanlou will appear in the upcoming 'AI in Imaging' special issue and it is available on Early View here: doi.org/10.1111/jmi....

They both bring expertise in materials science and they have been active members of the Journal of Microscopy Editorial Board.

"A detailed protocol for expansion microscopy of Paracentrotus lividus embryos and larvae: Incorporating decalcification for improved imaging" by Thomas M. D. Sheard, Davide Sartori, Matteo Colombo, Izzy Jayasinghe and Andrea Gaion is available to view here: doi.org/10.1111/jmi....

The authors demonstrate faithful ultrastructural context in whole-mount specimens and provide practical guidance for sample handling. This toolkit opens scalable, cost-effective nanoscale mapping of echinoderm development and supports comparative studies of morphogenesis.

EDTA-based decalcification preserves morphology and reduces autofluorescence, allowing subcellular-resolution imaging with standard confocal/Airyscan systems.

The DAIM special issue can include invited manuscripts, original research articles, reviews, and methods & protocols.

Deadline for submissions: 28 February 2026

The Guest Editors for the issue will be Rocco D'Antuono (The Francis Crick Institute - DAIM RMS, UK), Nicholas Condon (University of Queensland, Australia) and Beth Cimini (Broad Institute, US).

Mark served as a Scientific Editor on the Journal since 2012, taking the lead on materials-oriented papers. He stepped down from this role earlier this year, having made many substantial contributions to the publication which have helped ensure its long-term success.

"Revisiting PSF models: Unifying framework and high-performance implementation" by Yan Liu, Vasiliki Stergiopoulou, Jonathan Chuah, Eric Bezzam, Gert-Jan Both, Michael Unser, Daniel Sage & Jonathan Dong is free-to-view here: doi.org/10.1111/jmi....

identifying their optimal use cases, they clarify long-standing ambiguities in PSF modeling. Their open-source PyTorch implementation enables efficient CPU/GPU computation, benchmarking, and seamless integration into modern deep learning and optical design workflows.
