- I always get weirdly sad setting up/collecting my fish/embryos for the last time every year and hope that they have a happy holidays too
- Pleased to say that Jonas Hartmann (bs-less) and I have finally released DySTrack (“diss track”) - Dynamic Sample Tracking. It’s a Python-based, modular tool that brings smart microscopy to everyday imaging on commercial systems. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... [1/6]
- The core idea is simple: DySTrack lets you keep using Zeiss/Nikon software for acquisition while running any Python image analysis you want in the loop. It watches prescans -> runs your analysis -> updates stage coords automatically. [2/6]
- The result: Your microscope can follow moving or drifting samples on its own with no vendor lock-in, no rewriting control software and no massive frameworks to learn. We provide integration for Zeiss LSM880, LSM980 and Nikon scopes that have JOBS. [3/6]

- My timely return to social media - just ahead of something fun we’re releasing next week! Until then here’s a movie of the zebrafish pLLP migrating past motor neurons and under the spinal cord as a teaser.
- Thought I was being really novel when I designed and 3D printed this mold for zebrafish transplants based on the microinjection one, but found out today it already exists… Bottom: my PLA mold that’s bent from warm agarose Top: a very kind (more robust looking) gift from @mongeralab.bsky.social
