The France BioImaging Team wishes you a happy new year and all the best for 2022!

May 2022 bring new microscopy breakthroughs that will take biological research to new depths!

To start this new year, here is a beautiful & festive fluorescence microscopy image illustrating skeletal muscle fibers (Desmin, green) in co-culture with motor neurons (SMI-32) forming active Neuromuscular Junction in a cell culture method using murin primary cells in vitro. Nuclei are stained by DAPI (blue).

This image was submitted by A. Ghasemizadeh, from the Institut NeuroMyoGene, to France-BioImaging Image Contest 2021.
