Platform DTPI

by Heurteau David - 5 May 2020 (modifié le 7 December 2022)

Presentation

The DTPI platform (Detection : Time, Position, Image) is a technologic platform of the Institut des Sciences Moléculaires d’Orsay (ISMO). It meets the needs in advanced instrumentation common for several subjects. Its role is to provide small experiments with innovative electronic equipment not available in retail. Its current line is the systems in time measurement. It takes part in training of students and cares about industrial valorization. It endeavors to develop exchanges with surrounding laboratories, both in study and realization.
