This is finally out! Great collaboration with Andy Holmes @timbussey.bsky.social @lisasaksida.bsky.social and @touchscreencog.bsky.social @westernubrainscan.bsky.social trainees www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New to slicing murine brains on a vibrating microtome (vibratome)? Then check out this video where Jimena Ferraris DVM, PhD of @stockholm-uni.bsky.social gives her trade secrets for the best possible slices. Give it a watch and stay tuned for her full interview! www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Does the rhyme "righty tighty, lefty loosey" live in your head rent-free when you screw in screws? Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to our left-hand screws needed to secure the blade to the holder. To all of our vibratome users, check out this new rhyme, thanks to AI, to help avoid making mistakes!

Good morning Munich! We are here at Munich Brain Day, #MBD2025 at @mpiforbi.bsky.social ! We are joined by npi electronic GmbH. npi distributes our vibratomes in Germany and are well known for their diverse electrophysiology solutions. If you are here, make sure to come upstairs and say hi! 🧠

Good morning Montpellier! @cassdeichsel.bsky.social is set up and ready for #NeuroFrance2025 put on by @socneuro.bsky.social If you are interested in vibratomes, touchscreen chambers for rodents, tools to monitor circadian activity, and more - come stop by!

Next week is going to be busy! @cassdeichsel.bsky.social will be attending two events! First she will be at @socneuro.bsky.social #NeuroFrance2025! Then she will be attending @mpiforbi.bsky.social Munich Brain Day. #neuroskyence - will you be at either of these events? Let's connect!

For all of those attending #BNA2025, in the poster zone 4, poster number PW 287, a poster entitled 'User interface refinements and quality assurance assessment in an updated popular tissue vibratome' is being presented. This presentation marks the launch of the 9000smz vibrating microtome! 🧠

Good morning Liverpool! We are set up and ready for you #BNA2025! After a fantastic welcome reception, we can't wait to see all that @britishneuro.bsky.social has in store! If you're here, stop by booth #18. You might see something brand new in addition to our full range of 🧠products! Woo!

Checkout a really exciting paper using our Bussey-Saksida Touchscreen Chambers! These results give a lot of food for thought and challenge many previous assumptions. Notably, the impact of daily administration of drugs should be considered in all cognitive testing! 🧠

As we prepare a big announcement, we think it is a great time to peek into the past. Have you ever wondered how Campden Instruments got its name? The company was originally founded back in 1970 on Campden Hill Road, in the Kensington area of London, so the name initially helped people locate us!

#BNA2025 is almost here! We will be attending the @britishneuro.bsky.social Festival of Neuroscience in Liverpool! We will be releasing VERY exciting news, so make sure you check out stand #18, and keep an eye out for Campden and @campdenird.bsky.social in other places! 🤓 Stay tuned for more! 🙊

Will you be attending #APS2025 next week? If you are, make sure to stop by booth 914 and meet the @aurorascientific.bsky.social! They would also be happy to answer any questions you may have about Campden vibratomes!

Turning up the cheesiness to wish all of those that are celebrating a Happy Easter Break! Whether this long weekend you are searching for eggs or important data, we wish you a very EGG-citing time filled with springful fun and a much-needed break! 🐰

We’ve had a few requests to extend the deadline for applications for the CPW 2025 workshop @cpw-liverpool.bsky.social due to the Easter break. The deadline is now midday on 28th April! Application form is available from the webpage @livuni-ilcams.bsky.social www.liverpool.ac.uk/life-course-...

Last week, we asked you to guess, based on a series of microscopy images, what samples were successfully sliced using our 7000smz-2 vibratome. The answer? Plant roots (more specifically eucalypt root) — to investigate fungal colonisation. Did you guess correctly? 🌱

We're breaking new ground with a brand new vibratome application note — a sample type we don't usually discuss. Can you guess what sample has been sectioned from these fluorescent microscopy images? Read the full note here to see if you're right: lnkd.in/dExESF7G

Where in the world are our vibratomes? Today you can find one at the 35th annual @camneuro.bsky.social #CNS2025 Seminar alongside our other neuroscience products! If you are not in Cambridge but would like to meet Julie, book a meeting: campdeninstruments.com/booking/ #Obligatoryconferencepost 😂

It has already been a week, but we are still buzzing from last week's @neurowissg.bsky.social meeting in Göttingen! We had a great time learning about the various forms of research taking place (including with very diverse model organisms 🐝🐟🪱) and we loved being able to see old and new friends!

Check out some fantastically designed experiments using our Bussey-Saksida Touchscreen chambers! 💡🧠🐭

Conference season is still going strong. Next week we are happy to announce that we will be attending the 35th annual @camneuro.bsky.social Seminar entitled #CNS2025 Expanding the horizons of brain research! To get extra time with Julie, feel free to book a meeting: campdeninstruments.com/booking/
