Histology : from sample preparation with the RHEM and PHIV facility (human, animal and plant tissue) to digitisation of virtual slides and image analysis
(Key words : brightfield and multiplex staining, Nanozoomer (brightfield), Axioscan (fluorescence), Pannoramic (brightfield and fluorescence), QuPath and Histometrix with machine/deep learning)
Main Category: Histopathology
We use Zeiss LSM 980 NIR with large possibilities of laser excitation. We propose panel design to acquiistion and imag analysis with QuPath
We offer workflows that enables tissular to subcellular analysis with a specialization in in immune tissues. Our team provides guidance and support at key stages throughout the process. We offer different organs fixation and sectioning methods including cryo-fixed or chemically fixed sample. Accordingly we offer various types of immunolabeling techniques using on these sections. We provide imaging services that allows to get a stitched confocal image of large samples using a high-speed confocal imaging system. Ultimately, we offer a wide range of tools enabling image restauration and analysis at the cellular and subcellular like surface quantification, intensity measurement, structures counting.
To support this workflow we rely on a fully equipped preparation laboratory and two microscopes which can be used in wide field or confocal modes using a CSU X1 Yokogawa confocal head on a Zeiss Axio Observer Z1. We have 2 computers with GPU and various analysis tools: conventional tools like Imaris, ImageJ/FIJI, Qupath, and IA tools like Ilastik, Cellpose, DeepMIB and different conda environments for Deep learning applications.
