We’re excited to announce that QUAREP-LiMi has reached a milestone of 600 members! This growth highlights our collective commitment to improving reproducibility and quality in light microscopy. A big thank you to all our members for their support and contributions. Here’s to continued success and collaboration!
New article “A community-driven approach to enhancing the quality and interpretability of microscopy images” has been published in the Journal of Cell Science. You can access the publication here.
We welcome a new member to our working groups 2, 3, 10, 11 and 12. Mr. Aleš Kladnik from, the Biotechnical Faculty of University of Ljubljana in Slovenia just joined QUAREP-LiMi.
The Journal Histochemistry and Cell Biology has announced to implement new submission guidelines for image presentation and image analysis, which have been published recently in Nature Methods by the international network Quality Assessment and Reproducibility for Instruments & Images in Light Microscopy (QUAREP-LiMi)-Working Group 12 – Image Analysis and Visualization .
WG 6 – Stage and Focus released its first version of the protocol “Repeatability of the XY positioning of motorized xy-tables of light microscopes“. The protocol is featured on protocols.io
The paper “Community-developed checklists for publishing images and image analyses” has been published in Nature Methods. You can access the publication here.
WG 15 – Objectives FLIM data analysis is complex, and a good understanding of the chosen method is required to ensure the collection and validation of quantitative data. WG15 will focus on different FLIM techniques and data analysis tools with the following aims: Define reliable FLIM standards for quality control and calibration. Develop protocols for instrument calibration and comparison across devices. Establish common metadata terms and checklists. Recommendations for sample preparation for FLIM Recommend data formats that allow data analysis
WG 14 – Objectives A stable environment is crucial to operate state of the art microscopes. Commercial instruments are designed to operate under specific room environment parameters, including temperature, humidity, vibration, dust, and electrical/electromagnetic or acoustical noise. It is important to adhere to these specifications to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Currently, it is unclear for the light microscopy community how to accurately and routinely measure these parameters and relate own measurements with the required specifications. WG14 aims to establish measurement protocols
