Volume Imaging Australia

Registration is now open for VIS26! This is an online extravaganza of all things volume imaging: light, electrons, x-rays, data analysis, correlative microscopy, you name it! This year we will have viewing hubs at Usyd, LaTrobe and UWA, plus a Volume EM Masterclass running in parallel. Details here:

Sound the trumpets, the 2025 Light Microscopy Australia & Volume Imaging Australia Imaging Awards are now open. Huzzah! Submit your spiffing light microscopy, volume electron microscopy and x-ray microscopy images for your chance to win some cold hard cash! Details via the QR code below 😀🔬

Volume EM meets synthetic biology

Matthew Lee, Judith Mantell, Martin Warren, Paul Verkade and colleagues use serial section Transmission Electron Tomography (ss-ET) to visualise synthetic ‘cytoscaffolds’ in bacteria.

If, like us, segmentation of microscopy images is your jam or if you want to learn more about how segmentation could be your jam, then our upcoming webinar is for you!

Segment Anything for Microscopy - Constantin Pape
8 July, 4:00 – 5:00 PM AEST

Registration and details: tinyurl.com/wt7c4avu

An excellent and eye-opening new case study on the awesomeness of SBF-SEM!

A new version of Empanada, the fantastic deep learning mitochondria segmentation tool, has just been released!

It also includes expanded tools for other organelles: DropNet for Lipid Droplets and NucleoNet for Nuclei. Learn more here: empanada.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

🔬 The practical course #EMBOvEM is open for registration 👉 https://s.embl.org/vem25-01-bl

You will gain theoretical and hands-on knowledge on the three main techniques for volume EM – microtome-based serial block-face SEM, focused ion beam SEM, and array tomography.
