3D imaging of the inner micro-structure with unprecedented quality for industrial R&D and control
The technique
X-ray computed micro-tomography is a high resolution, non-invasive and non-destructive 3D imaging technique. It benefits from the penetrating power of X-rays to reveal the inner structure of any type of materials at a micrometer scale. It does not require any sample preparation and can be carried out under natural or controlled environment.
The MRI platform is made up of two key components: an Animal MRI platform (Director: Christoph Segebarth) and a Human MRI platform (Director: Jean-François Le Bas). Both are located on the premises of the University Hospital, the former at the new Grenoble Institute of Neurosciences (GIN; Director: Claude Feuerstein), the latter in the immediate vicinity of the hospital but also adjacent to the clinical MR Unit.
2D and 3D In vivo optical imaging platform for small animals
From Bioluminescence to Fluorescence
This Optical imaging platform is part of a European centre of excellence that includes EMIL, Nano to Life and CLARA (Canceropôle Lyon Auvergne Rhône-Alpes)
The small animal optical imaging platform offers a range of services that can be especially useful for lifescience organizations, notably those involved in Biomedical R&D where the need for non-invasive, spatio-temporal analyses of biological processes can be carried out directly within living organisms in real time.
