Microscopy

The bio-imaging technical platform provides CR-HMR researchers with cutting-edge optical microscopy equipment to acquire images or videos of living or fixed samples. It also provides different types of software for microscopic image analysis. It offers training sessions as well as support in the design of microscopy experiments.
