BioImaging Center Lille (BICeL)
Platform
Our platform is dedicated to cellular, tissue and small animal imaging (rodent and aquatic models). Our services are structured around five technological platforms: electron microscopy, photonic microscopy, cytometry and flow imaging. We possess a wide range of innovative equipment and support research activities of more than 400 researchers and 112 national and international research teams. We are open to all academic and industrial collaborations and propose services and training in line with our expertise.
