An innovative method, developed by a team including members from LGL-TPE, now allows for the 3D characterization of hydrated samples in their native state with nanometric resolution.

A new technique, developed by a research team including several members from the LGL-TPE, enables rapid acquisition of three-dimensional data from hydrated samples with nanometer-scale resolution. A key advantage of this method is its ability to avoid degrading the native environment of the studied samples.
The results of this research, which are expected to open new avenues in biology and material science, have been published in the scientific journal Communications Engineering.
