Construction of a unique two-photon microscope
The fruit of a collaboration between IPBS engineers, the company Eurobioconcept and equipment manufacturer Lavision Biotech, this tool was custom-designed to meet the stringent requirements of biosafety level 3 containment. In addition to its adapted components, its positioning within the platform allows the observation of live samples containing level […] pathogens
Amira 3D software workshop
On 15 May at 14:30, Rémi Blanc from the FEI team will present the «Amira» 3D visualisation and image processing software at Restore. Check the calendar page for details
A new logo for TRI
As part of the redesign of the Genotoul network's communication, initiated under the new management of Luc Pénicaud, TRI-Genotoul now has a new logo. We invite all partners and platform staff to use this new version from now on when creating presentations and communication materials, and for the renewal of […]
ImageStreamX : Imaging Flow Cytometer
The ImageStreamX imaging flow cytometer combines the speed, sensitivity, and phenotyping abilities of flow cytometry with the detailed imagery and functional insights of microscopy. This system delivers multiple images of every cell in flow, including brightfield, darkfield (SSC) and fluorescent markers. The camera operates with a pixel size of 0.1/0.25/1 μm2 with 60X/40X/20X magnification, respectively, […]
Imaging explained to the general public
For the Fête de la Science, the TRI-Genotoul network made equipment and experts available to explain imaging techniques to both school children and the general public. This initiative, which is part of Toulouse's brand new «Quai des savoirs», will continue during the All Saints' holiday. The available microscopes will allow curious visitors to [...]

2016: a year of change for the TRI network
Growing TRI Thanks to support from the Midi-Pyrénées Region within the framework of the PRISM project and from the COMUE through the IDEX and the Go Ahead project, the TRI platforms have been able to significantly enrich their instrument parks as well as their associated expertise. These are now equipment in super-resolution microscopy, [...]
SPIM & MacroSPIM: the videos
SPIM and Macro-SPIM are light-sheet microscopes enabling 3D and deep-tissue live imaging with low phototoxicity. Several videos produced using these instruments are now available from the image gallery page. With the SPIM, cells undergoing mitosis within a […]
Infectious imaging & biosecurity 3: a unique combination
Live analysis technologies in the field of human class 3 pathogen research have long been limited by health and safety constraints. For the first time, IPBS engineers have brought together unique imaging and flow cytometry tools within a single biosafety level 3 laboratory [...]
TRI invests in super-resolution systems
In order to bypass the resolution limits imposed by the laws of optics* and thereby achieve higher resolutions, various fluorescence microscopy technologies have recently been developed. Grouped under the terms «super-resolution» microscopy or «nanoscopy», they make it possible to localise, in vivo, within the very cells, […]
