🔬 On June 6, we inaugurated the first #MesoSPIM in France at INRAE Jouy-en-Josas & ENS Paris-Saclay! A big thanks to @nvladimus.bsky.social , @mgarbelli.bsky.social ,Angeliki Vavladeli & all speakers and sponsors. Exciting step forward for #opensource imaging & interdisciplinary science! #microscopy

Did you know that Universite Paris Saclay has its own Benchtop #mesoSPIM? Interdisciplinary team lead by @christellelangevin.bsky.social has built their own setup, the first in France, and organized an inauguration symposium! Cleared baby sturgeon or trout? They have it! French bioimaging is strong!

New chamber mount design for our @mesospim.bsky.social - magnetic kinematic bases from @thorlabs.bsky.social for the win! 3D printed (for now) bases hold the chamber snugly for precise positioning between experiments. Fill port on the front allows for media addition without disturbing imaging.
