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[…]

We are delighted to share that Sandrine Lévêque-Fort, Maxime Meghnagi, and Jimeng Zhou from our project team participated in the 30th International Workshop on Single Molecule Spectroscopy and Super-Resolution Microscopy, held from 23-26 September 2025 in Berlin, Germany. During the event, Maxime presented a poster on “Modulated illumination on[…]

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!
