Thank you, Sendai! Director of Sales Robert Monteverde says goodbye to the 82nd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Microscopy where he & our TEGA Science colleague Shinya Kondo connected with researchers, collaborators, and friends from across the microscopy community.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at M&M 2026 in Milwaukee, WI and sharing the latest advances in direct detection technology!

We recently shared a GitHub script to address an occasional dose-weighting issue in CryoSPARC. It's also a good opportunity to look back at the origins of dose weighting itself—work that began with Direct Electron's "damage compensation" method, first presented in 2013 and later developed into techniques that remain foundational to cryo-EM image processing today.
