โ€ฆand itโ€™s out! On the cover at @CellSystemsCP Those are real #mitochondria 3D models from MitoNet predictions, emerging from the ocean of grayscale EM data - inspired by insect trays in entomology ๐Ÿ˜€ #volumeEM #DeepLearning #electronmicroscopy

Oh my god what a fantastic #volumeEM @GordonConf, led by @PaulVerkade and @EM_STP. A special shout out to Kara Fulton (L, Harvard) and Odara Medagerada (R, Cambridge), who have been elected as the inaugural volume EM GRS 2025 chairs!

This is SO cool. ๐Ÿ† for good old fashioned observational science with cutting-edge #volumeEM techniques - there's still so much to learn just by looking!.

What a fun #metadata workshop to attend, thanks Matthew Hartley! @BioimageA @EMDB_EMPIAR @AI4LifeTeam Creating #AI metadata, tools and docs for #volumeEM that are ๐Ÿ‘‰USABLE BY "NON 1%er" LABS๐Ÿ‘ˆ is critical for compute resource and expertise limited researchers!.

And finally, use the empanada #napari plugin to automatically segment 1000s of mitos using MitoNet (point-and-click clean up predictions as needed) - biologists, read about and download it at Give it a whirl!

MitoNet can be used as-is for mitochondria, but you can also fine-tune the models to better fit your own unique EM data. See this thread:

empanada v2.0 is out! Default MitoNet predictions not quite doing it? (L) Now you can finetune your model! 16 patches (256x256) labeled in ~30 min; 100 iterations (8 min) later - voila! (R). More mitos (circles), better split/merge (arrows), still accurate (arrowheads) #volumeEM

This is how MitoNet was created; image datasets and benchmarks for #DeepLearning model training are all on #EMPIAR - developers, please use these resources for #imageanalysis on #volumeEM and #electronmicroscopy data! CEM1.5M, CEM-MitoLab, MitoNet benchmarks

OK, back to this hellscape after a bit of a gap. it's either my love for #ScienceTwitter and my #volumeEM family, or some announcement coming up ๐Ÿ˜… Or both!.

Folks in the #volumeEM community - here's a chance to get a citation/pat-on-the-back if you've used Zarr or other NGFFs for your image data. Ping @BogovicJohn, @normanrz & @notjustmoore!.

SO much fun to be part of the #volumeEM community at this time - it's a weird/exciting feeling to have a ring side seat, knowing you're watching a field go through an inflection point in real time. , right @VolumeEM1?.
