Dear confocal list,

How do you keep up with the latest publications on microscopy, imaging,
new fluoresecent proteins, new techniques etc?

Are there maybe a few blogs you would suggest?

This topic is cross-posted on twitter here:

A few things that work for me:
1. Setting up weekly alerts on pubmed

2. (Very old fashioned way): Regularly browse TOCs of journals - this is
time consuming but it helps to gain breadth and learn what else is
happening.

3, Go through proceedings and abstracts of relevant conferences (FoM, M&M,
ISBI, MICCAI, QBI, etc).

4. Check the lab websites of research groups that work in the areas of
interest to you (Again time consuming, can't be done regularly)

Hope this helps.

A year ago, I would have said Google Scholar alerts, but since then I've
had a much better experience with Twitter. You have to follow a
sufficiently diverse group to get good coverage, of course.

Hi everyone,

I use the application Feedly (https://feedly.com ). It compiles news feeds from a variety of online sources (Pubmed and journal RSS feeds etc.).

Within a few seconds I usually browsed over 20 journals with specific keyword (usually: superresolution, nanoscopy, 4Pi) and specific authors.

It’s a great application for various web browsers and mobile devices 😊

Best regards,

Ulrike

"It's for keeping up with the literature" is what I tell myself to justify
browsing Twitter.  It is only like 60% a lie.

Kidding aside, Twitter is actually a useful tool for catching new papers
that are cool + interesting.

Thanks,
Rusty

Agreed re: Twitter. It takes discipline though to unfollow people
sharing pictures of their lunch (if you want to share your lunch or
fancy cocktail with me then invite me out for lunch or cocktails!), or
who are attempting to whip up outrage (I don't have the energy to be
constantly outraged). I try to curate a good group of colleagues who add
editorial value.

Two-photon probes for in vivo multicolor microscopy of the structure and signals of brain cells.

Brain Struct Funct. 2018 Sep;223(7):3011-3043. doi: 10.1007/s00429-018-1678-1. Epub 2018 May 11.

Imaging the brain of living laboratory animals at a microscopic scale
can be achieved by two-photon microscopy thanks to the high
penetrability and low phototoxicity of the excitation wavelengths used.
However, knowledge of the two-photon spectral properties of the myriad
fluorescent probes is generally scarce and, for many, non-existent. In
addition, the use of different measurement units in published reports
further hinders the design of a comprehensive imaging experiment. In
this review, we compile and homogenize the two-photon spectral
properties of 280 fluorescent probes. We provide practical data,
including the wavelengths for optimal two-photon excitation, the peak
values of two-photon action cross section or molecular brightness, and
the emission ranges. Beyond the spectroscopic description of these
fluorophores, we discuss their binding to biological targets. This
specificity allows in vivo imaging of cells, their processes, and even
organelles and other subcellular structures in the brain. In addition to
probes that monitor endogenous cell metabolism, studies of healthy and
diseased brain benefit from the specific binding of certain probes to
pathology-specific features, ranging from amyloid-β plaques to the
autofluorescence of certain antibiotics. A special focus is placed on
functional in vivo imaging using two-photon probes that sense specific
ions or membrane potential, and that may be combined with optogenetic
actuators. Being closely linked to their use, we examine the different
routes of intravital delivery of these fluorescent probes according to
the target. Finally, we discuss different approaches, strategies, and
prerequisites for two-photon multicolor experiments in the brains of
living laboratory animals.
