#Vegetative #electron #microscopy” is #nonsense. And yet several scientific #papers have included the phrase over the past few years.

When two papers from the 1950s were digitized, two columns of text may have been read together incorrectly, the “vegetative” from one column smushed up with the “electron microscopy” in the other.

The #researchers discovered the phrase started showing up in responses generated by #OpenAI’s GPT 3.0, which was released in 2020.

And the #nakeddiefriday comes back with a bang. Today's guest is a Philips product, p/n PCB83C851. This is a 8051 derivative, of which Philips made quite a few.

I'll do a short tour thread with a small bonus at the end.

We had some code for image randomisation which ran very slowly in ImageJ.
Pro: easy to use by labbies
Con: very slow, like really slowww

Decided to rewrite the whole thing in python last night. In testing this morning, it seems to be 100 times faster! It uses a different approach so the comparison is not entirely fair, but still #GoMe

As of yesterday, I began to upload videos to my #peertube channel. I'm unsure if this will be a regular thing or not! Maybe anyone following my mastodon might drop into the channel for curiosty's sake? https://peertube.wtf/c/micronicle.org/videos

The #Leitz APL OEL 1.32 S1.1 has arrived and is now fitted to the #Dialux 20EB's universal condenser.. I conducted a test of the condenser with a #live #blood slide preparation. The initial results are very promising. If you would like to follow along with my progress before anyone else, join my Telegram Channel https://t.me/micronicle0000 as that is what I use to make running notes of my #science #biology #liveblood #analysys using #microscopy.

#MeetOurDataStewards Community Support Taskforce #1: Ksenia Krooß

This month, we’re excited to introduce Ksenia Krooß, #DataSteward at @nfdi4bioimage and the Center for Advanced Imaging at @hhu.de. She is specialized in molecular plant biology and #Microscopy.

Need help with microscopy techniques, bioimage #DataManagement, #Metadata (#OMERO) or data submission? Ksenia’s here for you!

#ThinSectionThursday Here's a lovely porphyritic camptonite (probably Permian) from North Hoxa, Orkney, seen in plane-polarized light. The large brown crystal is kaersutitic amphibole, the smaller clear crystal near the bottom of the photo is olivine, & the large greyish crystal on the right is clinopyroxene (with a hole in it!). These phenocrysts sit in a finer-grained groundmass of amphibole, clinopyroxene, magnetite & analcime. The field of view is about 2mm wide. #Geology #Microscopy #Orkney

I'm getting super excited to receive this condenser which is 100% matched to the #Leitz #Dialux 20/EB Universal Condenser.

Apparently, these Leitz high numerical aperture (na) condensers are like rocking horse nitrogenous compound. I managed to find this one on...

This paper in @J_Cell_Sci from the Wittmann lab is cool. They use nanocages to look at fluorescent proteins and weigh in on the question of which monomeric StayGold variant is the best.
