Area of expertise

Bioimaging platform offers access to fluorescence and confocal microscopes (for fixed or live samples), super-resolution microscope, a transmission electron micropscope with Cryo-TEM capacities and a Luminex (Bioplex) instrument.

It is also possible to do live-cell imaging for both short and long term as well as the analysis of acquired data.

Services offered

The Bioimaging platform offers personalized trainings for the users so they can do image or data acquisition by themselves. It is also possible for platform staff to do image acquisition for the users.
Sample preparation is usually done by the users but could be optimized with the help of platform staff.
NEW: Our platform is now offering Cryo-TEM for samples in suspension (VLPs, nanoparticles, Extracellular vesicles).
From sample preparation (vitrification) to observation, our staff could help you to obtain images you need for your projects. It could be for optimization (screening) or to obtain high resolution images.
