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.

October #ImageOfTheMonth is from O. Barba-Vila from @iins-bordeaux.bsky.social Slice of the gustatory cortex showing axons from the gustatory thalamus (G), basolateral amygdala (R) and a thick-tufted layer 5 neuron (W), recorded through patch clamp and imaged via biocytin-streptavidin labelling

September #ImageOfTheMonth is from @rkinet.bsky.social from @imn-bordeaux.bsky.social
This is a maximum projection of a confocal image of a microglia cell (blue) and its nucleus (red), internalising multiple nanoparticles (yellow), one day after supranigral injection in C57B6-J mouse

August #ImageOfTheMonth is from L.Congiu from
@imn-bordeaux.bsky.social. This is a 3D reconstruction of a CD68-positive particles (white) within the cell body of microglia cells (Red) in the mouse cortex. The confocal Z-stack was processed with Imaris software.

July #ImageOfTheMonth is from A.Drouet from
@iins-bordeaux.bsky.social. This image represents a neurosphere (150x150 µm) formed from dissociated hippocampal neurons cultured for 14 days under non-adhesive conditions. Yellow shows GFP expressing neurons and nuclei are showed in cyan.

June #ImageOfTheMonth is from L.Boutaleb from @inrae-bfp.bsky.social. They study the impact of heat stress on cell division and DNA replication on the tomato meristem. On this confocal image, EdU staining (magenta) detects replicating DNA and Hoechst labeling (cyan) shows all cell nuclei.

May #ImageOfTheMonth was from C.Mazocco & M.Darricau from @imn-bordeaux.bsky.social. Staining on spinal cord slices reveal TDP43 protein in the nucleus of neurons (Red). Motoneurons and synaptic terminations were stained targetting ChAT (Cyan).

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.

We started our official back to school week with the official picture to advertise our "Cristal collectif du CNRS 2022Like kids we were not really focused first and our photographer was very patient 😅😎thanks @avecunz

Apparently our students are involved in some post-it contest with the neighboor lab. And of course they started with an obvious piece of art 🔬🤩
