Cyanobacteria isolated from desert "microbiotic" crust soil. @zcardon.bsky.social's group is exploring how these tiny green algae and cyanobacteria can completely dry out in deserts and then opportunistically pop back to activity when a raindrop hits.

Happy #Microscopymonday! Today we have the inside front cover of our latest issue of #CYTOSKELETON. Have a look at the entire issue here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/1949...
A blob of white signal staining the nuclei of kalanchoe foliar embryo
Close up of the foliar embryo with mRNA detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Green and red signals can be seen at the base of the embryo.
#MicroscopyMonday A kalanchoe foliar embryo emerging (white signal staining for DNA). STM (green signal) and WUS (red signal) mRNA can be detected at the basal region of the embryo. WUS has a more narrow expression domain.
Happy #MicroscopyMonday everyone! 🔬🤩
Today’s image comes from Lillian and it’s her first immuno!🐁🧪
In the image, red ❤️ highlights myo7a, which shows the hair cell bodies! Beautiful!

Fluorescence microscopy image of a spherical cluster of chloroplasts, showing magenta-stained interiors surrounded by bright green outlines against a black background.
Moss (Physcomitrium patens) protoplasts (wallless cells) transformed with chloroplast envelope protein tagged with mGFP (green). The chlorophyll autofluorescence is in magenta.
The protrusions of the chloroplast envelope are called stromules.

Fun fact: most of the sophisticated live/super-resolution correlative microscopy we do rests on a (less buggy now) ImageJ macro that transforms stage positions between two microscopes #MicroscopyMonday
Happy #MicroscopyMonday!
Here we have Dermacentor variabilis, aka the American dog tick, showing its distinct markings.
These #ticks carry diseases such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or tick paralysis, and, less typically, #Lyme disease.
Fortunately, they tend to be larger and easier to spot.
RNA FISH of shoot apical meristem of foliar embryo of Kalanchoe. White: DAPI; green: STM mRNA; red: WUS mRNA. Red signal is restricted to the center of the green signal.
This beautiful #MicroscopyMonday shows how maternal regulation governs early embryonic development by coordinating gene expression in both time and space to direct proper embryonic growth. 🔬 @gopalkushawah.bsky.social (@bazzinilab.bsky.social)

Happy #MicroscopyMonday everyone!🔬 Today's image comes from Ivy and it shows a beautiful dissection of the organ of Corti of a mouse!😮🐁
In the image the 💚 signals are myosin VI, an essential protein expressed in auditory hair cells for hearing acquisition!👂✨🧪

Fluorescent microscope image showing a dense network of bright green, irregularly shaped plant cells with glowing outlines against a dark background.
Surface (epidermal) cells of many plants are shaped like jigsaw puzzle pieces. 🧩
These are epidermal cells of tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) expressing cytosolic EGFP. The bright spherical structures are cell nuclei.

A microscope image with 3 channels: white, red, and green.
The white channel (DAPI). Nucleoli are visible.
Green channel: STM mRNA, throughout the SAM.
Red channel: WUS mRNA, with a more restricted expression domain.
#MicroscopyMonday Cross section of a Kalanchoe shoot apical meristem (SAM). White: DAPI; Green: STM RNA; Red: WUS RNA. Expression of WUS is restricted to what is known as the organizing center of SAM.
The presentation is not colorblind friendly yet, but this is our first RNA-FISH results.

Pial cell junctions with ZO-1 (green) and beta-catenin (magenta) with a few pial blood vessels at the edges (adult mouse) - the sample prep for this is tough but worth it to see these lovely cell connections. #microscopymonday
