Thrilled to share that nanoSCAN was part of Coscience 2025, held last month in the heart of Milan as part of the European Researchers’ Night. The public exhibition brought science closer to the community, showcasing how research and innovation impact our everyday lives. We were thrilled to be part[…]

We are pleased to share that Sandrine Lévêque-Fort and Maxime Meghnagi from the nanoSCAN team took part in MiFoBio 2025. After unloading their fully packed car, they set up three different configurations, one of them for nanoSCAN presentation, around a single microscope paving the way for a productive week[…]

Last week, the nanoSCAN consortium came together in Milan to look back on the milestones achieved in the previous months and shape the roadmap for the project’s final year. Hosted at Politecnico di Milano, right next to the Institute for Photonics and Nanotechnologies (CNR-IFN), the meeting offered participants a[…]

Thrilled to share that this summer two new chips were delivered by Giovanni Castiglioni (CNR-IFN) and Paolo Maran (Politecnico di Milano) to Paris and tested at our partner Abbelight – bringing us closer to the realization of a chip-based ModLoc microscopy system!

Happy to report that Francesca Bragheri presented the latest SIM results achieved using the nanochip developed as part of our nanoSCAN project in Munich at #CLEOEurope2025.
