Happy #MicroscopeMonday 🔬ft a gastric neuroendocrine tumor in a bearded dragon! Bearded dragons have a high prevalence of this tumor that originates primarily in the pyloric mucosa, are highly aggressive with consistent hepatic metastasis and intravascular tumor emboli.

not #microscopeMonday🔬 not #fluorescenceFriday: #TestingTuesday 🤦♂️. Assessing 3D algos today. @wythelab.bsky.social & @llobrienlab.bsky.social turned me on to evans blue as an epithelial marker. BTW, algo failed (hint: rt hemisphere aysmmetry). Lightsheet microscope from @the.3i.social

It isn't #Microscopemonday but it was certainly Microscope Friday today at the Fall @nesmicroscopy.bsky.social meeting.
Was awesome catching up with fellow microscope people from forever ago and meeting new people today and all those in between.
Very much looking forward to the next one. Yay 🔬

Happy #MicroscopeMonday 🔬with renal coccidiosis in a juvenile snow goose 🪿! Most likely an Eimeria species, this parasite has a complicated life cycle to the kidneys. Typically, this is asymptomatic but heavy parasitism can cause death is due to renal failure.

Getting the hang of #MicroscopeMonday 🔬
Meet Polly - a ~2-month-old Holothuria poli juvenile with transparent tissues and floral-patterned ossicles.
I work on H. tubulosa, but this tiny H. poli turned up in a lab mate's samples and is now our lab mascot - at least until a tubulosa appears 👀

Happy #MicroscopeMonday 🔬 fr an American black bear 🧠 with GM1-gangliosidosis! GM1 is a sphingolipidoses lysosomal storage disease with a beta-galactosidase deficiency. It has an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern with a defective GLB1 gene.

Spleen from an anole 🦎 with pigmented macrophage hyperplasia!
Pigmented macrophages are a common cell type seen in reptiles, amphibians, and fish! Pigmented macrophage hyperplasia is extremely common in geriatric reptiles but could be seen with immune stimulation.

Forgot to do #MicroscopeMonday yesterday!!
Impression smear from a fish spleen with a white nodule grossly
This is an acid-fast cytology stain highlighting acid-fast bacilli consistent with Mycobacteria species!
Many of this genus affect fish particularly in the M. marinum group!

Hi all, been a minute! But we are back with #MicroscopeMonday 🔬 ft a perivascular cuff in the brain 🧠 of a 🦦!! Perivascular cuffs are a form of encephalitis (brain encephalitis) that can be indicative of viral infections! It is unclear in this case what caused this little cuff in this 🦦!

Happy #MicroscopeMonday 🔬ft a bacterial embolus in the glomerulus of an American badger 🦡 . This badger had a head wound that allowed bacteria to invade opportunistically causing bacterial septicemia allowing for bacterial emboli to arrive in multiple organs. Bacteria are cocci like Staph or Strep!

Happy #MicroscopeMonday 🔬with ranavirus in a barred tiger salamander spleen! There is necrosis with characteristic eosinophilic inclusion bodies! This disease is caused by multiple different viruses 🦠; this one is likely Ambylostoma Tigris virus causing mass mortalities in N. American salamanders!

Happy #MicroscopeMonday! See the little parasite in this 🦦 🧠? It’s tiny; likely a Sacrocystis neurona or Toxoplasma gondii! Can be difficult to distinguish histologically without molecular or staining techniques! Both can cause severe fatal meningoencephalitis in southern sea otters! 🦦 🔬
