Super-resolved 2D and 3D fluorescence imaging

We have two home-made SMLM microscopes to perform STORM and PALM. One is combined with an Atomic Force Microscope and enables correlative fluorescent and topographic imaging at the nanometer scale.

 We propose Multi Focal Microscopy (MFM) to produce fast 3D tracking or 3D super-resolved imaging of fluorescently labeled samples. The setup is currently designed for imaging sections of ~3µm (bacteria, yeast) and is still under optimization.

A 3D STED setup and a light-sheet microscope are currently under construction on our R&D facility. Stay tuned!

All projects are run as collaborations. Please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for help choosing the most appropriate approach. We also provide advice to design your experiment and support with data analysis. After a meeting, we can run a few experiments to assess the feasibility of the approach. Then a collaboration scheme is defined between the team and the facility. Our R&D division can also implement specific adaptations for your project if needed.
