Imagery platform
Observe and understand the infinitely small to model and optimize the industrial process
The imagery platform is equipped with a variety of equipments allowing the acquisition of 2D, 3D and 4D high-resolution images. Obtaining an image allows on the one hand to observe, and on the other hand to follow the evolution of a process when the acquisition is prolonged in time. Beyond imaging, the platform affords a digital post-processing offer allowing to diagnose, analyze quantitatively and model from a real morphology. The platform is commonly used for the observation of biological phenomena and the morphological characterization of biosourced materials, and is open to other observations.
