MITACS GLOBALLINK fellowship for work on polarisation effects in confocal evanescent (TIR-SAF) super-resolution microscopies applied to cell adhesion
We congratulate Kaitlin Szederkenyi, a master student in Applied Science and Biomedical Engineering from the University of Toronto to her MITACS fellowship. Kaitlin will join team 1 of the SPPIN for a 4-month internship. She will be working with Martin Oh ...
How to calibrate evanescent-wave penetration depths for biological TIRF microscopy?
Total internal reflection sets up an evanescent wave that – when used for microscopic imaging – renders the microscope short-sighted and enables the selective observation of the near-membrane space. But how deep is deep? In this Biophysical Pe ...
Fast volumetric Imaging of Brain Organoids With a New Single-Objective Planar-Illumination Two-Photon Microscope
Imaging large tissue volumes at high spatio-temporel resolution has been a major challenge for scanning-type 2-photon microscopes. Now, SPPIN researchers around Martin Oheim and from TILL.id (Munich) designed and successfully validated a new microscope sch ...
Chateaubriand fellowship awarded for work on OASIS microscope
Last academic year’s SPPIN-Paris Descartes’ invited Professor Adi Salomon (link to: www.lab-salomon.com) was awarded a Chateaubriand Senior Fellowship by the French Embassy in Israel. Salomon and some of her collaborators will come to work on the OASIS ...
Call for contributions to Special Issue of Microscopy Research and Technique (Wiley) on Photobleaching and Photodamage
Medically efficient treatments often go along with unwanted side effects. In much the same manner, microscopic imaging at high spatio-temporal resolution pushes the limits by destroying fluorescent labels, affecting the biological process under study or ev ...
ERASMUS+ fellowship for work on histaminergic NMDA-receptor modulation
We congratulate Mona Kappes, a med student from Erlangen-Nürnberg University who took the 2017 Olang Summer school on how new genetic and imaging techniques allow to address the complexity of the brain (Oheim/Kirchoff), to the ERASMUS+ fellowship she won ...
2nd Eureka! EUROSTARS grant awarded to SPPIN researchers
After the successful OASIS project (www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/11/03/461335 , www.till-id.com/en/idea_projects_OASIS.php) a second EUROSTARS grant has been awarded to the SPPIN. A team of researchers around Martin Oheim, head of the Biophysics of N ...
Two teams from the SPPIN awarded ANR grant
Brandon Stell and Céline Auger, from the team Cerebellar Neurophysiology, along with Marin Manuel, from the team Motor Neurons & NeuroMuscular Junctions, both part of the SPPIN, have been awarded an ANR grant for their project on “Integration of spi ...
Seana O’regan and Alain Marty received the CNRS medal of honour
On Wednesday, July 10, 2019, Seana O’REGAN and Alain MARTY were awarded the CNRS Medal of Honor for their participation in the organization’s outreach and research activity and the quality of their services to science. ...
The “Institut Universitaire de France” supports “singular microscopy”
Comparison of regular 3D point scanning microscopy (a) with super-resolution compressed sensing microscopy with speckle patterns (b). Super-resolution was achieved here by saturating fluorescence excitation. (From M. Pascucci et al., Nat. Comm. 2019). Cong ...
