Just this time we are having Fluorescence Thursday instead of the usual #FluorescenceFriday, so that we can wish you all happy 4th of July with a beautiful display of #ExtracellularVesicles (EVs). These single EV were stained using our #EVProfiler2 kit and imaged on the #Nanoimager with #AutoEV. This approach allows the user to gain insights on the size and shape of their EVs, as well as biomarker distribution. We wish our friends and colleagues a happy 4th of July! For our team across the pond, we wish you a good election day, choose well and make your voice heard.

🔬 Join us on an exploration into the realm of extracellular vesicle (EV) research with Colbie Chinowsky, PhD, an Applications Development Scientist at ONI! 🌟 In this interview, Colbie discusses her journey into EV studies, the key questions researchers are tackling, and the future direction of this exciting field.

The month of June was very eventful in the history of #microscopy. For today's #FluorescenceFriday we celebrate another chapter in the #HistoryOfScience, and mark 83 years for the first introduction of a fluorophore-conjugated antibody, which is now an indispensable tool in light microscopy. More than a decade before the elucidation of the double helix structure of #DNA, and years before molecular cloning became widely common, Albert Coons and his colleagues from Harvard University used chemistry to conjugate a fluorescent dye to antibodies they extracted from the serum of an inoculated rabbit. The scientists indeed tried to use the fluorescent antibodies for tissue #imaging, however, they failed, due to the overlap between the wavelength of the fluorophore and the wavelength of the tissue autofluorescence. Nonetheless, working on a compatible fluorescent antibody was already "in progress" at the time of publishing this historic paper in 1941. Today, the 28th of June, also marks the 112th birthday of Albert Coons, the scientist who pioneered the field of #immunofluorescence. Read the historic paper: https://hubs.li/Q02BBLt-0 In the image here is a #dSTORM image which used fluorescently-labeled antibodies against the mitochondrial protein Tomm20 in green and the ER protein CLIMP63 in magenta, taken using the #Nanoimager.

⭐ It's that time again! ⭐ Welcome back to ONI's weekly A-Z of Super-Resolution! Today, join us for a spotlight on "V" for Voronoi Diagram🔬 🔍 A Voronoi diagram is a mathematical method for segmenting planes into cells, where each cell is defined by the distance from a single point called a "seed." The borders of each cell represent an equal distance between one seed and another. In super-resolution microscopy, Voronoi diagrams can be used to determine the localization of labeled targets.
