I develop advanced AFMs integrated with fluorescence and X-ray microscopies and spectroscopies. My research focuses on liquid interfaces and biophysical properties, especially the mechanics of membranes and biomolecular condensates

At the @cbsmontpellier.bsky.social we equipped the JKP atomic force microscope, mounted on an inverted microscope, with photothermal excitation. This custom-built optical pathway focuses a laser onto the cantilever in our correlative AFM–fluorescence microscopy setup. @costaluca.bsky.social

AFM multiparametric characterization of LLPS in plants
Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) plays a crucial role in cellular processes.
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is notable for multiparametric imaging of LLPS condensates,
enabling investigation of th...
