I have a question about image processing. I took images with the same magnification and zoom. I rotated and cropped them in FIJI and added scale bars. The scale bar on one of the images is longer than the others. What is going on. I am literally about to lose it. I appreciate any advice.#microscopy #FIJI#science

Any idea what this algae or plant is? It forms green films on top if a nearby pond. Under the scope it forms largish clumps or sacks of cells- maybe 50-100 um or so across. Seems too large for most algae and too small for plants like duckweed. I've never come across it before, and I'd be curious to get an ID if anyone knew!

Post splash. Sometimes the interaction of different liquids leaves this sort of frozen imprint behind. I love projecting these images of extremely small things (often barely visuble to the naked eye) onto very large areas. Specially cool when done live. I work with a digital projector and an old school overhead projector. Trying to make my own inks and oil dyes but it's not always easy sourcing the apropriate material where I live.

Experimenting with #ThT stain on #spider webs to see if it successfully bonds to the beta chain #fibrin / #amyloid like components. I've applied the stain and naturally under 460nm webs fluoresce the expected green. I'm waiting for the sample to completely dry before differentiating with alcohol and then using a water based mount to finally disassociate the unbounded stain from the webs and other artefacts. All being so, we might be left with ThT stained #spidroins #science #biology #microscopy

Warty Cavalier (Melanoleuca verrucipes): Usually found in the late summer and autumn, this mushroom was first recorded in the UK only in 2000*, and is mostly found in the south of England. Well, this one appeared in my garden in the Central Belt of Scotland last Friday (11 April)! It popped out in an old abandoned flower pot. ... #Mushrooms, #Fungi, #Nature, #Microscopy: aye.tf/2025/04/14/melanoleuca-

I spent the day rectifying segmentation and tracking for bacteria in microfluidic devices. 1000 frames, 5 chambers, ~8 cells per chamber, so 40000 pictures of cells to look at, and check that they match frame to frame. I think I'm done with screens for the day. Fortunately automation helps, and drawing the lineages as graphs allows to spot errors more easily.
Now I have a clean dataset that I can analyse and also use as a training dataset for the next iteration!
