Bioimaging Core Facility

BioImaging core facility

The Bioimaging Core Facility is specialized in light microscopy.

Its goal is to help users from experimental design & acquisitions to image processing (treatment and quantification). In addition to the maintenance of the resources of the platform and the users' training, we are also involved in the organization of workshops about ImageJ and other imaging softwares and in several academic courses.

The facility can also help you with data presentation for oral presentation or publication (manipulation of file formats, animations, ...).

This platform is located within the Faculty of Medicine, Building C of the Centre Médical Universitaire (CMU).
