📸 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲! The Acquifer Imaging Machine (IM) has an add-on photomanipulation module for researchers interested in performing advanced experiments with ease. This module is an optional hardware upgrade to the fully automated widefield microscope and has a robust, optomechanical design with moving optics and a stationary sample holder. This module is automatically positioned under your sample before it annotates and automatically photomanipulates full datasets of entire microplates. This makes many experiments possible such as monitoring immune responses to injury or tissue-specific compound activity. The photomanipulation module has several important applications and was used to monitor white blood cell, specifically neutrophil, migration after automated laser injury. This image data was generated by INFLANET ESRs Nils Olijhoek (Stephen Renshaw and Phil Elks labs, University of Sheffield) and Sankeert Satheesan (Acquifer). #immunology #lifescience #photomanipulation

About us
Bruker’s suite of fluorescence microscopy solutions provides the most advanced microscopy for your research needs, helping you see the biology of life more clearly. Our multiphoton imaging systems provide the imaging depth, speed, and resolution required for intravital imaging applications. Inscopix, Inc. and Neurescence were recently acquired and provide miniscopes and multiscopes for revealing connections between brain function and action in freely behaving animals. Our super-resolution microscopes are equipped with quantitative single-molecule localization for the direct investigation of the molecular positions and distribution of proteins. Our light-sheet microscopes from Luxendo are revolutionizing long-term studies in developmental biology and in the investigation of dynamic processes in cell culture and small animal models. For the study of the genome, transcriptome, and proteome, Canopy Biosciences adds high-content cytometry technologies and a suite of complementary multi-omics services. History In 2013, Bruker acquired Prairie Technologies (est 1996), which pioneered the use of multiphoton fluorescence microscopy for revolutionary discoveries in neurobiology and cell biology. In 2014, Vutara (est 2009) joined Bruker adding super-resolution and single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) products. Vutara was started as a spin-off from the University of Utah. In 2017, Bruker acquired Luxendo (est 2015), a spin-off of EMBL, that develops and manufactures proprietary light-sheet fluorescence microscopy instruments. In 2020, Canopy Biosciences, LLC (est 2016), a leader in high multiplex biomarker imaging, joined Bruker. This acquisition enhances Bruker’s offering in targeted multi-omics and fluorescence-based imaging techniques. In 2022, Bruker acquired Inscopix Inc. (est 2011) and Neurescence (est 2019) which adds miniscopes and multiscopes respectively to our offerings for correlating brain function and action in freely behaving animals

👋 Our next expert behind the keyboard that we want to highlight is Product Manager, Yasaman Akhavan. Yasaman is great at bringing lots of interesting miniscope information and imagery to this page! 🎓 Yasaman has a M.Sc in Biomedical Engineering from SUNY University at Buffalo and an MBA from The Lisbon MBA Católica | Nova 🎵 Outside of work, Yasaman enjoys traveling, woodworking, and music. ✉ We encourage you to reach out to her if you’re interested in any of her work! ⬇ Learn more about Yasaman below. ⬇ ❓ What do you love about your job? 💬 One of the things I love about being a product manager is the journey of transforming raw customer insights and pain points into innovative solutions and a clear product vision. It’s not just about the technical aspects; there’s a great deal of creativity involved in shaping these ideas until they truly resonate with users, and that brings me so much joy. This process is deeply collaborative, allowing me to work closely with different departments—sales, #engineering, science, support, and marketing, .... Especially here at Inscopix, it means collaborating with exceptionally bright and passionate people, which makes every day more exciting. ❓ What do you think is unique about the scientific community within your field? 💬 We are talking about the #neuroscience community—a group of passionate individuals who are not only dedicated to unlocking the brain’s secrets but also to applying this knowledge in ways that can reduce suffering and improve quality of life. This translational power that the neuroscience community's research holds is what makes it so impactful and unique—it’s a field where discoveries in the lab can quickly translate into #therapies, interventions, and tools that address the very challenges we, or those around us, are facing. ❓ What is something your BU’s technology does that is unique to Bruker products? 💬 One of the aspects I find most unique about Inscopix technology is the holistic environment it creates for miniscope research. It’s not just about the ability to observe neural dynamics in naturalistic settings; the Inscopix environment offers nearly everything you need—from surgical procedures to data acquisition and analysis. This comprehensive support at every step of the research process is what truly makes Inscopix stand out in the field. But what really resonates with me is the deep commitment to putting the researcher first. The Inscopix miniscope was built by neuroscientists for the neuroscience community, and this careful attention to the specific needs of researchers is evident in every aspect of the technology. It’s designed with a deep understanding of what researchers genuinely want, and that makes all the difference. ❓ What are some of your hobbies outside of work? 💬 Traveling, Crossfit, and Woodworking. Music is also a big part of my life, and while I don’t play any instruments, I’m in the process of learning the handpan.

We had a great time earlier this month at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory neuro course. Students were able to look at dendritic activity in layer 2/3 of visual cortex on a Bruker multiphoton system. Specifically, visual gratings were presented to a mouse and calcium dynamics were imaged in visual cortex. Thanks for having us! #MicroscopyMonday #neuroscience #lifesciences

Imagine peeking inside a live, freely-behaving, thinking brain and watching neurons light up. Sounds like science fiction? Thanks to the Inscopix, Inc. miniscope, it is now a scientific fact! This innovative device, first launched over a decade ago with the nVista system, miniaturizes the bulky bench-top fluorescence microscope into a 2-gram tool that can be mounted onto the skull of a living animal to observe its brain activity. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴? Calcium imaging is key, allowing researchers to visualize neural activity in real-time. When neurons are active, calcium ions flow into the cells, using fluorescent protein indicators that emit a signal upon binding calcium, thus capturing the intensity of neural activity. This technique reveals how neural circuits operate in real-world conditions. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? 🧠 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: Inscopix miniscopes detect fluorescent signals using GRIN (Gradient Refractive Index) lenses or cranial windows, enabling the observation of thousands of neurons during cognitive or behavioral tasks. 🐁 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: As animals engage in active, freely-moving behaviors, the miniscope records neuronal activity. 💻 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: The imaging, optogenetic, and behavioral data are seamlessly transferred to an Inscopix Data Acquisition (DAQ) box, and the images and behavior movies are streamed live to a computer or mobile device. 🔎 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴: This data is then processed with IDPS (Inscopix Data Processing Software) and IDEAS (Inscopix Data Exploration, Analysis, and Sharing) platforms to infer deeper insights into the patterns of neuronal activity and their correlation with behavior. Whether it is understanding behavior, decoding cognitive processes, or advancing disease research, Inscopix and their full suite of miniscope imaging technologies (nVue, nVoke, and nVista) have been at the forefront of basic neuroscience discovery and translational applications. ▶️ https://lnkd.in/dZQ8AFGg #neuroscience #DiseaseResearch #optogenetics #microscopy #lifesciences
