Representation of PALM technology on a rat hippocampal neuron. The low resolution image corresponds to the synaptic marker, Homer-GFP. Using PALM superresolution technology, it is possible to visualise NMDAR trafficking and clusters in high resolution. This approach can be used in the study of autoimmune neuropsychiatric diseases that disrupt both the organisation of NMDAR and their diffusion at the neuronal surface.

    Coordinated by Jean-Baptiste Sibarita, from the Interdisciplinary Institute for Neuroscience (IINS), and featuring contributions from several France-BioImaging members, Photonic Imaging for Biology: From Conventional Microscopy to Super-Resolution (iSTE editions) offers a comprehensive overview of light microscopy techniques and their applications in biological research.

    The book covers a wide range of imaging approaches, from fundamental principles of light microscopy to advanced techniques, including light-sheet microscopy, single-particle tracking and super-resolution imaging. A dedicated chapter also explores image analysis, highlighting its essential role in extracting meaningful information from microscopy data.

    Bringing together expertise from researchers in the field, this publication provides a valuable resource for scientists looking to explore the possibilities offered by modern photonic imaging.
