Struggled with SIM calibration in this freezing weather - the scope likes its toasty 23°C room temperature! But now it's OK #realtimemicroscopy #cellfie

Throwback Thursday. #microscope #cellfie A mouse embryo fibroblast #MEF stained for #microtubule (blue) and #DNA (green). Images taken on a #Leica #confocal #SP8

🔬 📸 Check out this image of cultured human retinal pericytes stained for vimentin (cyan), F-actin (magenta), and DAPI (blue). Giulia De Rossi uses in vitro culture systems to look at how LRG1 affects pericyte morphology and function. Imaged with a #STELLARIS 5 confocal microscope.

Moving toward a better #resolution: our structured illumination microscope (SIM) allows to get 2 times better detail than classical widefield or #confocal #microscopy. Here's a #cellfie of a monkey cell labeled for the endoplasmic reticulum (yellow), clathrin (blue) and #actin (gray) 🔬
