The MAPPI setup we @AndreaBassi78 @labcosta.bsky.social
published in @ScienceAdvances shows its versatility, enabling us to design amazing experiments that we never thought could be possible...

So, now guess what this video is showingββ
Hi Jim...we think that we are a community and we need to share our results...this is what I consider Advances...a technology that many people can use...
Yes, we have built it in my lab...if you read the paper you can have an idea about the many possibilities it offers...
Many thanks Stephan...
