#MicroSky Summer read!

Predatory bacteria kill and eat other bacteria. Their deadly actions come in many flavors, often via direct physical contact between predator &
prey 🧛

How do they do it?

Rappelons à toutes fins utiles à l'ESR français (qui parfois utilise WeTransfer pour du professionnel) qu'il a filesender.renater.fr francetransfert.numerique.gouv.fr/upload et sans doute d'autres services dans les organismes.

The results of the demo of the MINFLUX on our samples were stunning. It is unlikely that we will get such a system in the short term, but the good news is that we are ready for some proper high-res SMLM fun !
