Imaging facility located in Bordeaux. We offer service in light and electron microscopy, and in image treatment and analyse.
November #ImageOfTheMonth goes to M.Pujol from LPCO lab (UMR 5629). Acquired with Transmission Electron Microscopy, it shows a polystyrene (PS) latex obtained by post-dispersion of a yogurt cup made of PS in water using a surfactant. The resulting particles are highly heterogeneous and large.

Happy new year! Let's start 2025 with an #ImageOfTheMonth from N. Bollier @inrae-bfp.bsky.social. Scanning confocal 3D reconstruction of a tomato shoot apical meristem. The fixed meristem was cleared using clearsee and the cell walls are stained by calcofluor white.
