Yeast Imaging Symposium
Carl ZEISS strives to understand the needs of researchers. This is why we have launched a programme of national symposia to bring together scientists working in specific research areas. After a successful start with the microscopy of plant and marine models, we would like to continue this initiative with yeast, a powerful experimental model that […]
PSEN: a network and an app
A new tool aimed at the wider plant-based community has just been created: PSEN. Based on voluntary participation, PSEN aims to promote mutual aid and thereby respond to the fragmentation of research-derived knowledge. Its operation is therefore based on individual registrations combined with a engine […]
SORTING AT THE CUTTING EDGE OF RESOLUTION
In order to bypass the resolution limits imposed by the laws of optics* and thereby achieve higher resolutions, various fluorescence microscopy technologies have recently been developed. Grouped under the terms «super-resolution» microscopy or «nanoscopy», they make it possible to localise, in vivo, within the very cells, […]
Sustainable partnerships for an improved service
For several years, staff from the TRI-Genotoul platform have contributed to the training course «Fluorescence Microscopy: Fundamentals and New Developments». Initiated by Philippe Cochard, this training is organised annually in partnership with ‘CNRS Formation Entreprises’ and brings together around ten trainees, predominantly from the private sector, who benefit from theoretical presentations and practical workshops […]
Dynamic network, collective success
Following a decision by the TRI-Genotoul Scientific Council, the website was completely redesigned during 2014 thanks to the work of Aurélie Le Ru (TRI FR-AIB) and Gaël Esteve (ComScience) to showcase the various resources of your platforms and technical facilities. This regularly updated website is essential in terms of search engine optimisation and therefore […]
Stéphanie Bosch joins the CBD
After having worked within different research teams, Stéphanie Bosch will take up the position of assistant engineer in the CBD's photonic microscopy facility on 1st December 2015, following her permanent appointment. «It is a versatile job where the users are at the heart of our missions. The range of issues encountered through them in [...]
Super-resolution: new expertise in STORM nanoscopy
Following on from the STED super-resolution module implemented on a Leica SP8 confocal microscope, the CPTP imaging platform is incorporating a new area of expertise in the same field, with super-resolution fluorescence imaging in the form of dSTORM nanoscopy. Furthermore, the IBCG platform has equipped itself with a similar nSTORM system. [...]
A super-resolution module at the CPTP
The CPTP imaging platform will soon receive a «STED 3X 775nm» super-resolution module for the SP8 confocal microscope. The recent development of super-resolution imaging techniques (resolution ≤ 50 nm) compatible with live cell dynamics earned Stefan Hell, Eric Betzig and William Moerner the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This notable improvement in [...]
INRAe Microscopists Network (JSTRI)
6th Scientific and Technical Days This three-day event, intended for INRAe «microscopists», is already fully booked. Download the programme Below is a word from the director of TRI-Genotoul, Alain Jauneau, who will be chairing this event. The 6th Scientific and Technical Days of the INRAe Microscopists Network will take place in [...]
Spinning disk: Manufacturer demonstrations
The IPBS is organising presentations of new equipment from manufacturers Olympus and Andor. The latter will be presenting their spinning disc and DSD solutions from 27 to 29 October in building A3 of the IPBS. These demonstrations are accessible to staff attached to TRI-Genotoul. Registration and further information are available from Renaud Poincloux, specifying: [...]
