The Company of Biologists | FocalPlane features... open microscopy and accessible workflows @CompanyofBiologists | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
The third webinar in the latest series of FocalPlane features… was on open microscopy and accessible workflows. We hosted fantastic talks from Richard Bowman, Jan Huisken and Dumisile Lumkwana.
Richard told us about the OpenFlexure project. As well as discussing the microscopes and their application, Richard highlighted the importance of community building to promote access to technology. One of the ways the OpenFlexure project do this is by inviting users and developers to use the forum on their website.
Jan discussed the Flamingo project, which brings high-end light sheet microscopy to biologists. The Flamingo microscopes are modular builds that were inspired by the difficulty of moving complex microscopes between labs and a desire to increase reproducibility.
Dumi introduced VP-CLEM-KIT, a new workflow for correlative light-electron microscopy that is both low cost and user friendly. The pipeline includes an optimised in-resin fluorescence protocol and the group are calling for beta testers to ensure that the protocol is robust.
