Due to the breadth of approaches, users are challenged with numerous specialized and nuanced workflows and the requirements for handling, segmenting, visualizing, and quantifying large and complex datasets. As such, a vEM community of core facilities, early adopters, and commercial vendors of vEM solutions have come together to reduce the barriers for successful adoption of vEM. Supported by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the rapidly expanding community has built a broad coalition sharing knowledge and working together to accelerate improvements in results, speed, and automation in vEM workflows. Here we provide an overview of the vEM concept, our growing resources, and an open invitation to join our community and upcoming vEM Technology Forum with technical talks, discussions, hands-on demonstrations, and networking.","PeriodicalId":74194,"journal":{"name":"Microscopy today","volume":"72 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141842053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under the microscope, these natural structures are frequently characterized by high complexity, the detailed exploration of which requires the use of enhanced magnifications. In the work presented here, an insight into the microcosm of snow crystals is presented by application of specific light microscopy techniques. Micrographs were produced by means of a low-temperature (LT) device that prevented premature melting of the structures. Additionally, single crystals were imaged as to a stereoscopic visualization allowing the detailed spatial investigation of specific structural elements.","PeriodicalId":74194,"journal":{"name":"Microscopy today","volume":"579 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141852427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
