Great to see such beautiful work from the Gibson Lab including this gorgeous movie from our own @MelainiaM, @__ChrisWood__, and others from the microscopy core!!
In new work from our lab, @kzsabin explores the development and cell type composition of the Nematostella apical sensory organ (ASO), which is associated with the incredible apical tuft cilia (AT) shown in the attached movie. Check it out!

This is our favorite experiment from this paper. Transient optogenetic control of one protein causes long term aggregation of another! Wow! #optogenetics #Microscopy
The latest paper from @HalfmannLab is now fully formatted at @eLife, In the video, @arg_arginine uses a laser pulse to create “seeds” of CARD9 (top) that trigger activation of BCL10, how our #ImmuneSystem responds to pathogens. @unruhjay @jeff_j_lange

It’s alive! Keep an eye on your power generators: AT-AT, our new Nikon spinning disk, is available for usage. AT-AT is very similar to 3PO except that it has a second set of lasers for doing simultaneous imaging and bleaching. More info on Helix.
