You can appreciate a lot by looking – using the best microscope in the world - part 3

As we sit at Washington Dulles airport waiting for the first leg of our trip home it seems fitting to reflect on what has been an intensely enjoyable, eye-opening, exciting, at times frustrating, but overwhelmingly awesome journey of discovery using the iPALM microscope at HHMI Janelia. Best ‘scope in the world, best three weeks of science-ing in my career. In my post nine days ago we were…

Milestone reached - half a million views.

500,000 all time views on lantsandlaminins.com + this is also the already the best year ever with over 150,000 so far in 2024.

It is through these short arms that laminin networks form. However, there are rules. For a network to form there must be an alpha, a beta…
