@pixel_dailies There are several images that I've had trouble with this month; I was never able to get them finished to my satisfaction. But they're not too bad, and in the interest of catching up a little, I've tried to simplify them and post them all together. So here are my #pixel_dailies for #entity, #airride, #wheelchair, and #fluorescence

The #fluorescence demonstrated by jellyfish is not only pretty but has been useful in medical research #pixel_dailies @pixel_dailies
Today's #pixel_dailies theme is #fluorescence. 
New research finds #fluorescence in feathers of Long-eared Owls
https://phys.org/news/2025-04-fluorescence-feathers-eared-owls.html
Fluorescent pigment concentration correlated with age, sex, and size in #LongEaredOwl (Asio otus) plumage https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15594491.2024.2444031
"female Long-eared #Owls have a much higher concentration of these pigments in their feathers, challenging a common misconception that colorful #plumage is a male trait... We are only beginning to describe fluorescent pigments in #birds and other vertebrates"

Not really fluorescence, but like fluorescence 
I've recently learned that some glassware contains uranium dioxide and will glow under ultraviolet light. And that they're collectible. For giggles, I used my UV Beast to illuminate some bowls at a house I'm cleaning out. They are not at all yellow in normal light. Are they glowing enough? #uranium #fluorescence #uvlight #physics #chemistry #glass
Study Finds That #BirdsOfParadise Are Biofluorescent https://www.amnh.org/about/press-center/birds-of-paradise-biofluorescent paper: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.241905
"an organism absorbs light, transforms it, and emits it as a different color... This phenomenon is especially prominent in males, focused on their bright plumage and skin in areas that are highlighted during displays: the inner mouth and bill, feet, and feathers on the head, neck, and belly... pigments in the #birds’ eyes align with the #fluorescence peaks"
Takashi Kawase has released a #linux version of VVDViewer (https://github.com/JaneliaSciComp/VVDViewer), a powerful volume renderer (#scivis, #sciviz) for #fluorescence #microscopy data. To celebrate, here is a video rendered by VVDViewer as driven by the Linux version of neuVid. The input to neuVid is a high-level description of the video, in this case showing four #drosophila lines from the #HHMIJanelia FlyLight Gen1 MCFO collection. The input text is pretty simple...
