Living Architectures

Posted by FocalPlane, on 30 June 2026

To mark the 40th anniversary of the Musée d’Orsay, the CytoMorpho laboratory was invited to create a performance based on a series of experiments conducted for the occasion. The images produced for this show were real. There were no digital simulations or generative artificial intelligence. They were series of true photographs taken with microscopes.

Protein micropatterning: beauty standards in cell culture

Posted by Julius Winter, on 16 February 2022

When imaging cells grown on a flat substrate, such as a glass coverslip, we quickly admire the diversity of morphologies different cells can take on. Some cells, such as COS7, will take on a flat “pancake”-like shape, which makes it easy to image its organellar structure in a 2D plane. On the other hand, a
