BIG NEWS! MBF Bioscience is excited to announce a leadership transition. Effective October 1, 2026, Veronica Pessino, PhD, was appointed CEO of MBF Bioscience. Founder Jack Glaser will continue to serve the company through efforts from the Board. Veronica joined MBF in 2025 and has served as President since January 2026. She brings a background in neuroscience research and experience leading scientific technology businesses. She will lead MBF's next chapter, with a continued focus on serving researchers through our imaging and analysis software and hardware. Jack co-founded MBF in 1988 and under his leadership, tools like Neurolucida and Stereo Investigator became standards in quantitative neuroscience. Thank you, Jack, and congratulations, Veronica.

New research from @LMU_Muenchen found comparable anatomy learning outcomes online and in person using Histologi@, a 3D virtual slide box powered by Biolucida Viewer. Read the study: mededu.jmir.org/2026/1/e8201… #VirtualMicroscopy #MedicalEducation #AnatomyEducation #Histology #Biolucida

As research questions get bigger and more complex, so do the experiments built to answer them. Imaging workflows increasingly span multiple instruments, real-time analysis, and decisions. We're very excited to be developing an MHS driver for ScanImage as part of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS) research preview: a new standard for AI agents to safely operate physical equipment in scientific research and advanced manufacturing. During the preview, we're testing how AI agents could support real-time data analysis and more connected imaging workflows, from acquisition through to the rest of the experiment, focusing on safety. This MHS driver is being tested as part of the research preview, it is not a shipped feature. But we're glad to be testing what these new technologies could mean for microscopy.

Can the rapid antidepressant-like effects of psychedelics be separated from the side effects? New research published in Molecular Psychiatry suggests they might. Using the FP3002 Fiber Photometry System, @Yale University researchers tracked serotonin and norepinephrine activity in real time in the prefrontal cortex of mice. They found that MDMA (but not psilocybin) triggered a robust release of norepinephrine alongside serotonin. That norepinephrine appeared to suppress the classic psychedelic behavioral signature while preserving psilocybin's antidepressant-like effects. This study highlights how real-time neurochemical recording with the FP3002 Fiber Photometry System is helping researchers uncover the complex interactions between neuromodulators, advancing our understanding of brain function and supporting the development of more targeted neuropsychiatric therapies.

🔬 Celebrating a breakthrough from Dr. Raju Tomer's lab @Columbia, just published in @NatureBiotech! SCOPE technology + SLICE microscopy = affordable, high-resolution 3D imaging for all. Dr. Tomer's team developed SCOPE, which transforms inexpensive air objectives into submicron-resolution tools. Combined with SLICE (which we commercialized from his pLSM invention), researchers can image centimeter-scale samples at nanoscale detail. The research team—spanning Columbia, NIH, Lehigh, NYU Langone, and MBF—demonstrated: • Whole mouse & salamander brains • Human tissue 3D histopathology • Brain organoids with microglia • Multi-immersion compatibility This collaboration shows what's possible when academic innovation meets commercial accessibility. Dr. Tomer invented the platform; we help make it available to labs worldwide. Huge congratulations to Dr. Tomer, the biologist collaborators, and the entire research team! This is the kind of science that expands what's possible for everyone. 🎉 Read the full paper: nature.com/articles/s41587-0… #Microscopy #Neuroscience #LightSheet #ScientificImaging #Innovation #SLICElightsheetmicroscope
