Anything related to things that are too small to see them with the eye, and the tools used to observe them.
This space is quite general in scope - microscopes, microbiology, small component electronics, questions about buying optical components, etc.
That is odd.. Can you upload the image to imgur.com, post it, and then I can try to upload it myself to see what happens?
I can upload my image to imgur, and I can post that, but the pretty image doesn't show, it's just an imgur link. Is it possible to show a thumbnail of the pretty picture? imgur link here https://imgur.com/a/H7KjOJ6
Thank you for your help! :)
I was able to upload it with both an admin and a non-admin account:

One idea: microscopy image files can be very big. Perhaps imgur compressed it considerably, and that's why I was able to upload it after downloading it from there. How big is the original file that you tried uploading?
And cool image, by the way!
thank you! i love the new in situ HCR method for showing gene expression, the images are always so pretty! :)
original image is 3.9Mb, its a tif made from the z stacks of the super huge .lsm files. is 3.9Mb too big for here? Sorry, I'm a new reddit refugee, learning how this lemmy thing works :)
oh! i'm on the startrek.webpage lemmy site, i dont have my account here in mander. does that explain it?
No, I just tested. The .tif format is not supported by lemmy. When it is uploaded to imgur it is transformed into a .png, so it works then!
hmm, I exported the .tif into a .jpg, and into .png, and I still got the Syntax error when trying to upload in a new post?
Then I think it may be a problem with startrek.website

Ah, sorry, I thought you had already looked at that. I deleted the test post after a bit - it was simply a post of the image made by a test account.
