📣The Journal is seeking applications for the position of Deputy Editor (Materials/Physical Sciences) to join the Editorial Board. The role includes supporting the General Editor, recruiting suitable referees for papers, and encouraging the submission of papers.

"Atomic force microscopy: The creator of a new paradigm from nanoscale topography imaging to mechanobiology and medicine" by Qianhui Xu, Huaiwei Zhang, Junmei Chen, Danhong Chen, Haijian Zhong and Weidong Zhao is available to view here > doi.org/10.1111/jmi.70…

🔬This new review systematically elaborates on how AFM, by providing quantitative, functional, and dynamic nanoscale data, is reshaping the understanding of disease mechanisms.

describing the gap between what is observable (empirical domain) and what must be understood (epistemic domain). "From observation to understanding: A multi-agent framework for smart microscopy" by P. S. Kesavan and P. Nordenfelt is free-to-view here > doi.org/10.1111/jmi.70…

🔬 In this new open access paper, the authors introduce a theoretical framework that reconceptualises smart microscopy as a partner in scientific investigation. Central to their framework is the concept of the ‘epistemic–empirical divide’ in cellular investigation, ...

"Erythrocyte ‘Feierzeit’ reaction: Novel filamentous and vesicular response to n-butyl acetate" by Philip W. Kuchel is free-to-view here: doi.org/10.1111/jmi.70…

🔬In this new paper, images of the morphological changes of red blood cells were captured in time-lapse sequences using differential interference contrast (DIC) light microscopy.

IMC21: Abstract submission deadline *EXTENDED* until Friday 20 March! 🙂 There's still time to submit your abstract and share your work with the international microscopy community in Liverpool this summer! #IMC21 Abstract submissions: ow.ly/Ia0A50Yrc0X

"Multimodal optical microscopy defect detection method for indium bump arrays based on multi-scale Demons deformation field difference" by Yifei Li, Ziyi Wang, Yong Li, Chenguang Liu, Jian Liu, Xu Hu and Xiaoyu You is available to view here > onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jm…

🔬This study tackles low accuracy and high false-positive rates in detecting indium bump defects for infrared focal plane arrays. A multi-scale Demons deformation field differencing method is proposed, utilizing a BTV-regularized model to suppress noise while preserving edges.

The Data Analysis in Imaging (DAIM) RMS science section and international collaborators have launched a special issue of the Journal with the topic: “High-Performance Computing and Cloud-based solutions for image analysis in life and physical sciences”. rms.org.uk/resources/jour…

📣Submission deadline extended for "High-Performance Computing and cloud-based solutions for image analysis in life and physical sciences" Journal of Microscopy special issue! The submission deadline has been extended to: 28 May 2026.

🔬The March issue of the Journal is now available to view online! The issue includes an invited review "Review of expansion microscopy combined with advanced imaging modalities" by Natalie Woo and Claire M. Brown. The issue is available to view here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/13652818/2…

"From projection to true surface: Curvature-corrected SEM morphometrics of diatom frustules under hydration variability" by Izabela Zglobicka et al available here > doi.org/10.1111/jmi.70…

🔬In this new paper, the authors show that curvature-corrected SEM morphometrics, paired with hydrated/dehydrated imaging, offer a reliable quantitative framework for diatom frustule pore-size assessment.
