Created in 2009, it offers high-level technologies and methodologies in cellular imaging, for applications in a wide range of research fields: medical, agronomy, agri-food...
The equipment is accessible to the whole of the region's scientific community (universities, EPST) and also private companies.
The facility is spread over two sites on Dijon campus and one site on Besançon campus. The “Spectroscopic imaging” (PIMS) site, attached to the PAM lab, is one of the two sites in Dijon.
The spectroscopic imagery site
Spectroscopic imagery platform
The technical platform PIMS (Spectroscopic imagery plateform) offers imagery and analysis techniques dedicated to the observation of environmental perturbations applied to the micro-organisms of interest, such as pressure, temperature or oxidation
The samples observed range from micro-organisms (yeasts, bacteria, filamentous fungi) to macromolecules and bio-polymers (food matrices, emulsions, functionalised packaging films).
In pratice :
- provision of scientific, photonic imaging and spectroscopy equipment, with technical support,
- advice and/or training for users,
