Euro-BioImaging announced the “Summer” round of the Four Seasons of the Invisible Imaging Contest in early 2025. The competition highlights seasonally inspired imaging work that reveals the unseen beauty of the microscopic world. FiAM Node is delighted to share that Kirstin Vonderstein, PhD from the Biomedicum Imaging Unit, the University of Helsinki, received second place in this competition for the image Summer’s Hidden Glow: “Autofluorescence of Cosmos Bipinnatus“. This image captures the stamens of a Cosmos bipinnatus flower that was found blooming along the wayside during the height of summer. Stereomicroscope image (1.63× magnification) of an unstained Cosmos bipinnatus flower, showing natural autofluorescence in yellow, red, and green. Imaging was performed at the Biomedicum Imaging Unit, the University of Helsinki. Kirstin Vonderstein will receive reimbursement of up to €500 to attend a scientific conference. The “Autumn” round of the Four Seasons of the Invisible Imaging Contest is open, and the submission deadline is December… Read more...

Junel Solis, Head Image Data Analyst at the Finnish Advanced Microscopy Node of Euro-BioImaging in Turku, gave an interview to Euro-BioImaging Scientific Ambassador Pablo Suarez-Cortes (Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin) about how he supports researchers by managing and analysing complex image datasets across diverse scientific fields. Junel shared how his work spans traditional biological microscopy and unconventional projects — from cancer research to marine biology and agriculture — turning complex imaging data into scientific discoveries. Key challenges include interpreting unfamiliar datasets accurately with researcher input and handling increasingly massive, multi-dimensional image files efficiently. Junel, who trained as a medical doctor before moving into biomedical and biological imaging, values the constant problem-solving and interdisciplinary collaboration his role offers. If you want to know more, read the full interview here and get inspired. Turku BioImaging Image Data Analysis is a dedicated open access service for image data analysis and management for both… Read more...
