I develop advanced AFMs integrated with fluorescence and X-ray microscopies and spectroscopies. My research focuses on liquid interfaces and biophysical properties, especially the mechanics of membranes and biomolecular condensates

It's Christmas in advance in the lab, as we recieved the first ever #Luminosa from @picoquant.bsky.social to be installed in France. It will be available on the PIBBS facility, as a combo with a Brucker Atomic force microscope for #mecanobiology, #smFRET, #FLIM, #FCS, #AFM applications and more.

At the @cbsmontpellier.bsky.social we equipped the JKP atomic force microscope, mounted on an inverted microscope, with photothermal excitation. This custom-built optical pathway focuses a laser onto the cantilever in our correlative AFM–fluorescence microscopy setup. @costaluca.bsky.social
