Summary

Microscopy is an indispensable technique serving materials science and life. All microscopes (photonics, electron, etc.) are complementary with different resolutions to answer scientific questions of researchers and industrials.

Clermont Confocal Imaging (CLIC)

Keywords: Fluorescence / Laser scanning confocal microscopes/ Spinning Disk / Biology / live cell imaging


Visit

Summary

The CLIC facility (Clermont Imagerie Confocale) provides support in photonic microscopy by supplying the users with several optical systems, mainly confocal microscopes. The facility is available for local public research community and private companies.
Our set-ups allow a broad array of applications : large spectrum of fluorescent dyes, fixed or living cells or tissues, need of a high sensibility or a high resolution or a high acquisition speed.
