🔬✨How do we spark a lifelong passion for science? It starts with curiosity and the right tools.

🏆In our latest Nikon Healthcare "Well-Being" feature, we explore the impact of the Japan Biology Olympiad. This isn’t just a competition; it’s a community where the top young minds in the country come together to solve complex biological puzzles.

🤝Nikon's commitment to well-being includes supporting the educational foundations of our society. By providing microscopes for the JBO, we aim to give these students a clear view of the microscopic world they will one day help to understand and protect.

🧠 Smarter imaging starts with smarter software. Instead of collecting more data than you need, what if your imaging software could make decisions as it goes?

This application note highlights an adaptive feedback microscopy workflow using the Nikon AX confocal system and NIS-Elements software with JOBS and GA3 modules to study the lateral line system in juvenile medaka fish (Oryzias latipes):
✔ Whole-Specimen Imaging: Locate sensory organs (neuromasts) across the entire specimen using a 25× silicone immersion objective.
✔ Targeted Acquisition: Automatically identify neuromasts and capture high-resolution images to assess cellular composition and morphology.

The result?
✔ Faster experiments with smaller datasets
✔ Reduced light exposure for sensitive samples
✔ Automated workflow that scales with your research
✔ No programming skills required

🧬Cell line development is a fundamental, but difficult step in many life science and biotechnology projects.

Together with Cell Microsystems, we explored how an automated, image‑driven workflow can simplify every step of monoclonal line generation.

📖 In this collaborative application note, you’ll learn how to:
• Automatically screen thousands of single cells
• Gently isolate monoclonal colonies of interest
• Perform downstream studies with customizable microscopy
• Run acquisition + analysis + reporting with one software platform

Some cells divide with a full, closed contractile ring, but some early embryos don’t have that luxury. Their divisions are fast, enormous, and often rely on an open, incomplete actin band. How this “unilateral cytokinesis” works has remained a long‑standing mystery.

A new Nature study from Alison Kickuth and colleagues from Jan Brugues lab at the Cluster of Excellence Physics of Life (PoL) at Technische Universität Dresden uncovers the mechanical logic behind it. In zebrafish embryos, microtubule asters stiffen the cytoplasm during interphase, anchoring the open band in place. When the cell enters M‑phase, the cytoplasm fluidizes, letting the band ingress. By alternating between these stiff and soft states, the cell creates a mechanical ratchet that drives furrow ingression without ever forming a complete ring. 🐟🔬

By combining laser ablation, rheology, live imaging, and biophysical modeling, the work reveals a non‑canonical, material‑state–driven mechanism for cell division in large embryonic cells, expanding how we think about cytokinesis itself.

👀 Guess what we are looking at?

🔬 It’s a 1/80 scale model of the iconic Nikon JOICO microscope! This miniature masterpiece, celebrating JOICO’s centenary year, was crafted by renowned artist and Guinness World Record holder David A. Lindon. Using the Nikon SMZ25 Stereomicroscope, David has created the world’s smallest sculpture of a microscope.

🤝 About the artist – David A Lindon is a rising star and one of the top micro artists in the world, and gained international acclaim in 2021 with his initial release of six microscopic masterpieces. David continues to push the boundaries of art with a new series of masterpieces, micro sculptures, commissions, and an upcoming exhibition.

🧐Enteric glia are some of the most abundant cells in the gut, but whether they come in different types has been a long‑standing question.

🧠 A new Neuron study from the group of Meenakshi Rao at Harvard Medical School shows that glia in the mouse intestine aren’t all the same: they form distinct groups with different roles. The team identifies Tacr3 as a key marker for one major glial type and uncovers a signaling pathway (NKB–TACR3) that helps these cells develop and later influences how the gut moves.

✨They also reveal that these TACR3‑positive glia are an unexpected target of medications that block TACR3, offering clues about common GI side effects 🦠
