Diatoms – microscopic algae found almost everywhere there’s water – make up ~25% of Earth’s annual oxygen production.🌎

EMBL researchers have now found a way to easily reveal their inner structures by combining cryo-fixation with ultrastructural expansion microscopy 🔬

So a big day for #microeukaryote #imaging. To finish "en beaute" a small video to share the behind the scenes of this first work. Such an exciting time to be a #marine #microbiologist !!

The ESRF congratulates the winners of the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry for their groundbreaking work on metal–organic frameworks!

Among them is Prof. Yaghi, with whom the ESRF proudly collaborated on a study featured as an ESRF Highlight in 2023 on high-porosity #MOF glasses.

Time for a thread!🧵 How different is the molecular organization of thylakoids in “higher” plants🌱? To find out, we teamed up with @profmattjohnson.bsky.social to dive into spinach chloroplasts with #CryoET ❄️🔬. Curious? ..Read on!

Look at those #DIATOMS

LOOK AT THESE #Microtubules

Congrats to the team

Long-live #UExM #Expansion #Microscopy
Excited to share the lab's 1rst preprint! Rapid high-res immunofluorescence is now possible in cultured & environmental diatoms thanks to 4-fold expansion microscopy. A step-change for comparative cell biology in one of the most important phytoplankton groups on the planet 🥳

Beautiful expansion microscopy of diatoms. Check out those cool #CO2 - fixing pyrenoids! The interesting shapes are likely formed by the #PyShell around the Rubisco. Congrats @serenaflori.bsky.social @floravincent.bsky.social and the whole @embltrec.bsky.social plankton team! 🧪🌾🌍🔬

The Arctic is threatened by global heating and pollution: @taraoceans-science.bsky.social polar station will both lock into ice and float on water to support researchers in understanding these threats. TREC's Thomas Haize attended the vessel's inauguration in Lorient and shared these great pics!
