The Centre de Photonique pour la biologie et les matériaux (CPBM) is a fluorescence dynamics imaging technology facility open to both academic and industrial users. CPBM promotes the interaction of various scientific communities: physics, chemistry, biology, medicine; and accelerates the transfer of technology.
The entire research activity of the center is structured around two main themes:
- Multimodal fluorescence imaging for biological, environmental and materials applications
- Developments in biophotonic microscopy: improvement of resolution and detection in fluorescence imaging for biomedical and neurobiological applications.
Users have access after training to:
- two level 2 confined cell culture laboratories, one focused on eukaryote, the other one for microorganisms.
- a level 1 cell culture laboratory
- a preparation room and a laundromat
- a leica SP5 confocal microscope (UV, visible and IR lasers): mono- and two-photon confocal imaging; FLIM, FRAP and FCS techniques
- a atomic force microscope (AFM) in liquid phase, coupled with TIRF imaging and electrochemical measurements
- a videomicroscope equipped with spectral measurement in microfluidics
- a Zeiss axiovert microscope allowing imaging of intracellular 2-photon fluorescence dynamics: two-photon experiments of FCS and FCCS, equipped with a Reoptical shear module
- an olympus IX51 epiflorescence full field inverted microscope and an olympus BX51 epiflorescence full field upright microscope
