CELL IMAGING
Fluorescence microscopy plays an essential role in biomedical research, offering perspectives for exploring cellular and tissue mechanisms. Within the SFR Necker,
our cellular imaging platform stands out for its sharp expertise in visualizing and analysing complex structures as well as dynamic processes. Our field of investigation extends
from the microscopic scale, at the cellular level, to that of the entire organism, allowing
for a thorough understanding of biological phenomena.
Our primary objective is to provide researchers with privileged access to state-of-the-art optical equipment, enabling them to successfully address the most complex scientific challenges. In parallel, our team actively engages in the development and implementation of innovative imaging methods to meet the evolving needs of the scientific community.
Open to all research institutes as well as private industries, our platform serves as
a privileged exchange and collaboration hub conducive to the emergence of new ideas
and the realization of ambitious projects in the fields of biology and medicine.
SERVICES
The main missions of the platform are to:
-
advise users in the design and implementation of their experiments,
-
assist users in sample preparation for super-resolution microscopy,
expansion microscopy, or tissue clearing, -
provide users with imaging systems best suited to their scientific needs,
-
assist and train users on all acquisition systems,
-
collaborate with researchers on the use of advanced techniques,
-
assist users in interpreting and formatting their results.
