The Bio-imaging platform is equipped with several microscopes with different applications. By clicking on each of the images, you will be able to view the details for each microscope.
*The photos of the microscopes were taken with an exposure time of 30 seconds which makes the illumination appear more intense.
For more information on the microscopes, their applications or to know the rates for the use of the different devices, please contact Julie-Christine Lévesque by email at jc.levesque@crchudequebec.ulaval.ca or by phone at 418 525-4444 ext. 48283.
