BII webinar about a great tool! TissUUmaps
The BioImage Informatics facility at Scilife organizes a new presentation on free and open-source tools: TissUUmaps, a browser-based tool for GPU-accelerated visualization and interactive exploration of millions of datapoints overlaying tissue samples.
Users can visualize markers and regions, explore spatial statistics and quantitative analyses of tissue morphology, and assess the quality of decoding in situ transcriptomics data. TissUUmaps provides instant multi-resolution image viewing, can be customized, shared, and also integrated in Jupyter Notebooks. TissUUmaps was created in collaboration between BIIF and the Wählby lab. You can read more about it and test the software on its web page: https://tissuumaps.github.io/
During the seminar, we will go through basic usage of TissUUmaps: installation, loading images, markers and regions, change visualization settings, and how to load / save / share projects. The webinar will be given by Christophe Avenel and will take place on March 3rd, 09:00-10:00 (instead of our normal Call4Help session). There will be time for questions and discussion, so we hope this event to be very interactive. Please register here.

Listen to the lectures at the LCI facility microscopy course!
Starting from next week, the Live Cell Imaging core facility at KI will run its yearly microscopy course.
All the course lectures and some workshops will broadcasted live on Zoom, free of charge and there is no need to register.
Name: Microscopy: improve your imaging skills – from sample preparation to image analysis
Date: 24 Jan â 11 Feb 2022
Target audience:
The aim for this course is to improve the microscopy skills of students and researchers who have already used a microscope to acquire digital images of fluorescent samples but feel that more knowledge could help them.
The course covers the following topics:
- Optics, image formation
- Fluorescence, fluorophores
- Bleedthrough
- Anatomy of a microscope
- Objectives and refraction index
- Cameras and detectors
- Noise and background, Bit depth and saturation
- Multichannel imaging and spectral unmixing
- Resolution and contrast
- Sample preparation, Immunostaining
- Nyquist sampling
- Confocal and wide field settings
- Speed, High throughput/content
- Volume imaging, deconvolution
- Clearing and expansion
- Live cell imaging
- Fourier
- AI, Super Resolution microscopy
- Colocalization
- Data handling, OMERO.figure

Brighter secondary antibodies
Fluorophores are in constant development.
There is now a new generation of Alexa Fluor fluorophores: the Alexa Fluor Plus. They can be purchased already coupled to secondary antibodies on the ThermoFisher website.
Brilliant violet antibodies are also very bright and despite their name, they come in all colours. The can be purchased from Biolegend which produces the fluorophore.
Another excellent source of bright fluorophores is the Janelia Fluor dyes. They can be purchased coupled to antibodies from the NovusBio website.
Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz excellent talk on November 8th
Scilifelab invited Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz to give a talk IRL in Solna on November 8th. Jennifer works a lot with microscopy and is an excellent speaker so her talk is guaranteed to be inspiring!
