#ImageOfTheMonth May 2026 🌟 Astrocytes in action! Cytoskeletal proteins in rat cortical astrocytes (DIV16), captured with simple widefield microscopy. A beautiful, informative glimpse into intercellular networks. Credit: Tatiana Charbonnier (IINS UMR 5297) #Neuroscience #Astrocytes #Microscopy
🚨Last call - 2 days left to apply for the SFBS 2026 Advanced Workshop! Learn how to choose, implement and interpret super-resolution imaging techniques (SMLM, STED, and more). Workshop & international symposium access included Deadline: May 1, 2026 👉 france-bioimaging.org/news-events/...
Yesterday, the 4 teams of the BIC spent a very nice moment together. We had presentations from the newest members of the BIC (and not so newest), and a shared lunch on the sunny terasse of the INRAE campus !
This week, engineers from the photonics division are leading the longest-running course in our catalog: The Basics of Wide-Field and Confocal Microscopy !
Mag_BIC@mag-bic.bsky.social · 5mo agoAnd here we go again 😊 widefield / confocal basics training. More than 15 years that we do this training twice a year, still expected by users ! Basics always matter !!!

✨ En ce début d’année, l’équipe du pôle photonique s’est dit qu’il était temps de changer des slides et des listes d’équipements 📄❌ 👉 Résultat : un mini-film un peu décalé pour présenter nos systèmes de microscopie, d’optique et d’instrumentation 🔬 La photonique, mais en version musicale 🎶
A colorful start to 2026! 🌿 #ImageOfTheMonth M. Batsale (Plant Virology team, @inrae-bfp.bsky.social ) captured a Nicotiana benthamiana cell infected with turnip mosaic virus — peroxisomes (yellow), viral vesicles (magenta) & chloroplasts (blue).
✨ December 2025 #ImageOfTheMonth ✨ Whole rat hearts cleared with iDISCO reveal sympathetic innervation (orange) and vascularization (green). 💛💚 Work by S. Bertrand & A. Bonilla (INCIA) with S. Martin & I. Brunet (CIRB), imaged by J. Teillon (BIC). #Microscopy #iDISCO #BICBordeaux
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.
