France-BioImaging is distributed in 10 local Nodes across the France and 1 transversal Node.
France-BioImaging provides many technologies for biological imaging on 30 different imaging core facilities and more than 80 associated R&D teams.
Access depends on the local rules and the majority of imaging systems can be booked online with hourly billing after on-site training by facility staffs.
