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.

My #BioimageTooloftheDay is the awesome 3Dscript that I use to make video of 3D/4D microscopy data www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The best thing is that ChatGTP (probably other LLM) synergies beautifully with 3Dscript, making it ever easier to use. Voice to 3D video animation 😁

Hello world 🌐, what's the best web-based open-source volume viewer for microscopy out there 🥽? Preferably browser-based. Help out Nuno on his quest =)!!
Does anyone know of a nice web viewer for biological image data that is preferably open source or something close to it? Asking for a friend 👀

A quick re-intro: we are interested in the mechanisms of collective cell behaviour, particularly cell movement. We use fly embryos, quantitative microscopy, image analysis and computer-based modelling. One of the systems where we study collective cell movement is the wound healing response.
