One challenge of microphotography is that you can only get so much in focus at a time.

Weirdo with a microscope: "Huh, I wonder what that looks like up close"

I have no idea what this is, but I'll keep looking and try to figure it out.

Cardiomyocyte orientation recovery at micrometer scale reveals long-axis fiber continuum in heart walls

A new method that combines #confocal #microscopy with computer vision provides unprecedented spatial resolution of #cardiomyocyte geometry along the mouse heart wall.

Glossiphonia sp #leech., frontal, Mallory–Heidenhain trichrome, 250x.That long noodle is proboscis - characteristic feature of Glossiphonidae. Note thin line around the proboscis - that's epidermis of proboscis poach.Two large croissant-like organs are ejaculatory ducts. Salivary glands are probably present on right side of the picture.Mystery: round organ which is present in pair at side of proboscis tip.Another mystery: yellow tissue inside of 'ducts'. #histology #sciart #microscopy #zoology

Comparison of Brightfield versus DIC illumination, Motorola 68HC05 microprocessor.
The quality here is fairly poor; my light source polariser is a piece of cheap polarising film clipped into a 3D-printed frame.
I need to find somewhere that sells good quality ~18 to ~22mm glass polarizers.

🔬 How to unveil a Chlamy organisation without expensive instruments and specific training?

Our Pigino Group with the University of Geneva, developed an ExM-based protocol to visualise the 3D ultrastructural organisation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by using conventional optical light microscopes.

✌️ Published in Bio-protocol and available now to the research community.

@PhiloNeuroScie Nice find! #Tissueclearing and #lightsheet #microscopy work on human brain (sections) too :)

Human brain samples are normally quite hard to properly image because they are dense with lipofuscins, super autofluorescent and not very permeable to antibodies. That they managed to pull this off using the more-or-less standard iDISCO protocol (even with "just" a 4 mm thick slab and high antibody concentrations) is quite impressive.

What good is a microscope in the hands of an amateur?

Well, it makes a drop of dirty water infinitely more interesting than it would be otherwise.

Now I've just gotta learn to identify what these things are.

Did you know?
Scientists can study how cells move, form, and interact in real-time using state-of-the-art microscopes.

In this picture you see cells of the eye developing from the outside to toward the lense. Studying their movement helps scientists understand cell interactions, development, and health.
