🎉 Good news everyone !

The #CIME @EPFL electron microscopy image contest now requires participants to submit their work under a #CreativeCommons license. 🔬

 https://www.epfl.ch/research/facilities/cime/index-html/image-gallery/image-of-the-moment/

Result: These images can now circulate freely including here on the #fediverse!

So I’ll take the opportunity to share a few here. ✨

🎉 Bonne nouvelle, tout le monde !

Le concours d’images de microscopie électronique du #CIME @EPFL demande désormais que les participants soumettent leurs œuvres sous licence #CreativeCommons. 🔬

 https://www.epfl.ch/research/facilities/cime/index-html/image-gallery/image-of-the-moment/

Résultat : ces images pourront circuler librement, y compris ici sur la #fediverse !

Je vais donc en profiter pour en partager quelques-unes ici. ✨

Whole-mouse imaging the hard way: Clearing, then slicing + block-face imaging with beam-scan / sensor scan-line synchronization and continuous stage movement in an oblique imaging setup (ViSOR).
This time, they scaled it up to whole-mouse and used pre-cleared mouse bodies (ARCHmap-blockface-ViSOR):

Ya boi is back with more microscope photos :3

Here are a few pics of a cool looking filamentous algae I found looking at more bog water under the microscope. I don't know too much about algae species (yet!) so I can't say much in terms of identification for this specimen, but it's certainly pretty to look at!

#MicroscopyMonday – No this is NOT an aerial view of the Grand Canyon.

This is a scanning electron microscopy image of the cranial sutures in the rat skull. 🔬💀🐀 These are fibrous joints where the bones of the skull interdigitate, allowing for flexibility and growth during infancy and early childhood before fusing in adulthood.
