🌍 Exciting News! We’ve launched our 𝙄𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 4 𝘼𝙡𝙡 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 to support researchers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)! To all core imaging facilities out there: spread the word and share this opportunity with microscopy users and collaborators in LMICs, so you can host i4A grantees. We’re here to assist you with the application process, so visit our website or reach out to us at i4a_support@embl.de for more information! 𝗵𝘁𝘁𝗽𝘀://𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴.𝗼𝗿𝗴/𝗶𝟰𝗮 Latin America Bioimaging Euro-BioImaging BioImaging North America African BioImaging Consortium South African BioImaging - SABI National Imaging Facility Microscopy Australia Mexican Bioimaging Workshops A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research

🌟Last week, we had the Practical Super-Resolution Microscopy Course in Turku! It was a busy week with lots of lectures, imaging, and networking 🤝 🔬This course was organized by the Cell Imaging and Cytometry Core (CIC), Turku Bioscience Centre and Turku BioImaging, and provided participants with an in-depth exploration of cutting-edge super-resolution microscopy techniques, including enhanced confocal (Zeiss Airyscan/Leica Lightning), SIM, SMLM and STED, which are all available in Turku. Participants not only gained theoretical knowledge but also had hands-on practical sessions on the microscopes. Moreover, participants were taught how to use OMERO for image data storage and had a practical session on image analysis. On the final day, course participants presented the images that were acquired during practical sessions and thoughts about the super-resolution techniques they used. 💡 By the end of the week, attendees were left equipped with enhanced microscopy techniques, improved image analysis skills, and a deeper understanding of how to leverage these tools in their research. 👏 A huge thanks to all organizers and instructors Christoffer Lagerholm, Kaisa Rautaniemi, Jouko Sandholm, Elena Tcarenkova, Junel Solis, Pasi Kankaanpää, Irina Belaia, and participants for being active and for making this course a resounding success! It was a great experience to work together with Cell Imaging and Cytometry Core on this course, we learned a lot from each other and are planning to make this course annually, stay tuned! #SuperResolution #Microscopy #Imaging #OMERO #Networking #Research Turun yliopisto - University of Turku Åbo Akademi University Finnish Advanced Microscopy Node Euro-BioImaging

The rapid innovation in imaging technology has led to the creation of hundreds of proprietary file formats, posing significant challenges for the #interoperability of imaging data in the pursuit of making scientific data #FAIR (1). foundingGIDE main aim is to enable bioimage data sharing and #community efforts around biological and preclinical open image data by enhancing the interoperability across image data resources. Traditionally, working with large-scale image data has required managing file format heterogeneity and downloading extensive datasets to local machines, a process that is both ⏳ time-consuming and ⚡ resource-intensive. OME-Zarr, a next-generation file format (NGFF) developed by the Open Microscopy Environment (3) community not only addresses these challenges by enabling users to interact with bioimaging data directly in the cloud, but also significantly enhances interoperability across diverse imaging platforms. By standardizing how data is stored and accessed, OME-Zarr paves the way for more seamless data sharing and collaboration across the scientific community. A prime example of OME-Zarr's impact can be seen in the European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI BioImage Archive selection of studies (2), where interactive images can be explored directly in the browser. This advancement not only improves efficiency and accessibility but also ensures that data can be more easily integrated and utilized across various systems and research projects. As OME-Zarr cloud-native technologies continue to shape the future of bioimaging, we are particularly excited about the upcoming OME 2024 NGFF Challenge. This challenge aims to convert a significant volume of existing bioimaging data into the next major version of OME-Zarr, based on Zarr v3 (4). The results of the OME 2024 NGFF Challenge will be showcased at the back-to-back events of Global BioImaging EoE (5) and the foundingGIDE Community Event (6), taking place from October 29 to November 1 in Okazaki, Japan.
