I made a cross polarizing filter adapter for the stereo microscope! This was on my list for so long and I never came around to do it.

Yesterday I was observing some very moist samples and the specular reflections were a mess - so I had a reason.

The Electron Microscope’s Canadian Link

Physicist Eli Burton and his University of Toronto team developed one of North America’s first electron microscopes in 1938, revolutionizing our ability to see the microscopic world. 🔬

I just pushed #OMIO to version v0.2.2. You can now reuse existing disk-backed #Zarr caches instead of rebuilding them every time an image is opened. OMIO stores cache metadata directly in the Zarr store and validates compatibility automatically before reuse ✌️

How can we see more detail in immune cells? 🔬 Researchers combined polarized hyperspectral + light #microscopy to better visualize white blood cells. This approach helps distinguish cell types and supports clearer, more accurate diagnostics. Read the #SPIE_JBO article: https://bit.ly/4vBdXXt

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🍄🌍 Scientists mapped arbuscular #mycorrhizal #fungi – the #underground fungal threads that connect #plant roots.

Analyzing over 16,000 #soil cores from 322 studies, they found the network stretches 110 quadrillion(!) km in the topsoil, long enough to reach the #Sun nearly a billion times. #Grasslands and #prairies hold the densest networks, while #farming reduces fungal density by nearly half.
