🧠 Imaging deeper into 3D organoid models How can researchers study cellular organization and functional activity deep inside intact 3D organoids? The FEMTO3D Atlas enables high-resolution volumetric imaging to explore cellular organization, calcium dynamics, and network activity across complex tissue models - opening new possibilities for investigating functional maturation and drug responses. 🎥 Watch our new organoid imaging video on YouTube to learn more about the capabilities of FEMTO3D Atlas: ▶️ youtube.com/watch?v=LgQm7XeJ… Subscribe to our YouTube channel for more videos on advanced neuroscience imaging and Femtonics technologies.

Neurons come in many different morphologies or shapes. Check out just some of the diversity of just inhibitory neurons in this beautiful video by our #ElectronMicroscopy team.

So nice to see our mClover3, the freeware equivalent to mNeonGreen, being useful mGreenLantern and mStayGold(Miyawaki) may be even better now though
This 'important' Tools and Resources paper establishes a robust live-imaging toolkit to characterize excitatory and inhibitory synaptic dynamics during neuronal development. The methodology and quantitative data are 'convincing' and well validated. elifesciences.org/articles/1…
