Our Nikon Center of Excellence is collaborating with Cincinnati Children's to accelerate biomedical breakthroughs. Researchers have access to state-of-the-art systems (like the AX R Confocal) to advance critical work in neurobiology, stem cell, and cancer biology, driving better child health. 🔬

Matt Kofron, Director of the Bio-Imaging and Analysis Facility at Cincinnati Children’s Research Foundation and Professor in the UC Department of Pediatrics, discusses the critical role of diverse and high-end microscopy technology in modern biomedical research, focusing on the need for both accessible tools and sophisticated systems, as well as centralized expertise.

"It is critical to have equipment in shared facilities where there are experts who can train new users and assist with the advanced analysis that's needed," he said.

Watch to learn more about how Nikon Instruments is helping to support cost-effective access to, and the expertise to utilize, high-end imaging technology.

👁️Photoreceptor cells, the light‑sensing cells that allow us to see, are known to be extremely fragile. Once they start dying, it’s usually thought to be permanent. A new study in Cell Death & Disease overturns that assumption.

The David Zacks Lab at the University of Michigan found that photoreceptors can actually reverse early signs of cell death once the damaging stress is removed. The cells regained their normal shape and activity, and healthy mitochondria played a major role in this recovery: by restoring energy, reducing harmful by‑products, and activating mitophagy, the process that clears out damaged mitochondria. Boosting mitophagy helped cells survive, while blocking it made cell death worse. The team even saw signs of recovery in a living model of temporary retinal detachment.

💪 These findings suggest that photoreceptors may have more resilience than previously believed, opening up new possibilities for protecting vision in retinal diseases.

🦠 Many RNA viruses build specialized biomolecular condensates, viral factories (VFs), to replicate. But how these condensates actually start forming during the very first moments of infection has remained unclear.

💡 The Marvin Tanenbaum Lab at the Hubrecht Institute finds that the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) carries a ready‑made “starter kit” to spark condensate formation. Incoming viral ribonucleoproteins (vRNPs) arrive already carrying pre‑assembled protein networks, called pre‑replication centres (PRCs), which help recruit viral proteins and kick‑start transcription immediately - even before visible viral factories appear. These PRCs vary from virion to virion, which helps explain why infection can look so different from one cell to the next.

🧬 What does automated MERFISH reveal in real tissue?

See how MERFISH maps spatial gene expression in melanoma skin models, from keratinocyte markers (KRT14, KRT10, FLG) to disease-relevant transcripts like NRAS and CCL27—all in intact 3D tissue.

🖼 Example image: MERFISH spatial transcriptomics of a melanoma skin model.

Join Prof. Jonathan Brewer to learn how automation and high-throughput imaging make spatial omics scalable and reproducible.

🔬 No, it’s not a real-life-sized microscope - It’s smaller than the tip of a matchstick!

🔍 The micro artist David A Lindon, in partnership with Nikon Europe, created the world’s smallest sculpture of a microscope – the Nikon JOICO microscope launched in 1925 – using the Nikon SMZ25 stereo microscope.

💡 David works at night for 6-10 hours at a time to avoid the vibrations of the daytime traffic. He enters a meditative state and is required to work between heartbeats!
