Tomocube Holotomography Microscopy Enables Label-Free, Non-Invasive Study of Individual Spermatozoa
Te Tomocube Holotomography microscope enables rapid 3D imaging and in-depth struc- tural analysis for monitoring and selection of spermatozoa for artificial insemination in humans and animals. A key determinant for
success in artificial insemination for humans and animals is the qual- ity of the spermatozoa. However, current 2D label-free imaging methods can only detect abnormal spermatozoa with significant morphological changes or incomplete structures and are unable to provide information on their internal structure or composition.

Lumiprobe Announces the Release of AF488 Reagent
Lumiprobe has released a new AF488 NHS ester analogue to the pop- ular Alexa Fluor® 488 dye. AF488 is a bright and photostable dye with high hydrophilicity making it ideal for labeling of sensitive proteins and antibodies in many applications including microscopy. AF488 is an amine reactive dye that can label amine groups in proteins, pep- tides, and amino-modified oligos.

μManager Open-Source Software and the Eliceri Group/LOCI Merge
μManager, an open-source microscopy soſtware program developed at UCSF for microscope control and image acquisition, has merged with the Kevin Eliceri/LOCI (Laboratory for Optical and Computational Instrumentation) group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Te LOCI/Eliceiri group is a natural home due to existing Micro-Manager- based collaborations and synergy with their ImageJ/FIJI activities. μManager developer Mark Tsuchida has joined UW-Madison and μManager co-founder Nico Stuurman from UCSF to release the new build of Micro-Manager.
