To develop the next generation imaging methods, we identified 5 strategic goals for instrumentation, and 2 accompanying goals for probe development and image processing (including deep learning).

Each goal is supervised by a dedicated Working Group (WG), which provides a national supervision for technological developments and implementations, as well as a forum for R&D exchanges, technology watch activities, and tools to transfer R&D innovations to facilities.

Strategic goal 4 – New contrast and in-depth imaging, preclinical microscopy

  1. Develop and implement label free microscopy modalities enabling new optical contrast
  2. Develop multimodal (label free, bright field staining and fluorescence) and automatisation (slide scanner, automatisation…) microscopy for histopathology
  3. Fill the gap between preclinical microscopy and medical imaging, by developing intravital microscopy, organoid screening and the correlation between living sample and 3D reconstructed fixed thick samples
