This was a great @aicjanelia.bsky.social project with Dalton Leprich and the McCutcheon lab @arizonastateuni.bsky.social and @hhmi-science.bsky.social. High resolution FIB-SEM imaging of a double endosymbiotic system reveals extensive bacterial contacts with their eukaryotic host organelles. 👇

Curious to see what a malaria parasite looks like during different stages of cytokinesis? 🫣

In this month’s @nfdi4bioimage.bsky.social calendar, we present a dataset of Plasmodium falciparum in EMPIAR and available as OME-Zarr via the @bioimagearchive.bsky.social, both hosted by @ebi.embl.org.

Oh my. If there were a contest for “world’s worst cryo-ET FIB-SEM lamella” I could contribute a first place contender 🥺. Might need a hug.

Excited to attend the Instruct-ERIC Hands-on Workshop on Advanced Cryo-FIB-SEM Methods at the EMBL Imaging Centre in Heidelberg, Germany, from 9–13 November 2026.

Looking forward to learning about cryogenic milling, lamella preparation, cryo-FIB lift-out, automated workflows etc.

Some very exciting news - cryo FIB-SEM instrumentation will soon be coming to the University of York cryo-EM facility, thanks to funding from @ukri.org BBSRC ALERT. This will enable technically demanding cryo-CLEM and in situ structural biology workflows for multiple projects ❄️🦠🧫

How do endothelial cells interact while migrating? Together with @jesseaic.bsky.social @scopeshifu.bsky.social @aicjanelia.bsky.social, we used #Cryo-SIM and #FIB-SEM to reveal a surprising diversity of nanoscale plasma membrane curvatures at asymmetric junctions.
