Access conditions for any in vivo project:
All projects must comply with regulations for animal experimentation.

Imaging

Bioluminescence and fluorescence imaging in vivo, in vitro and ex vivo.

Real-time fluorescence imaging of intravenous injection of fluorophore-tagged nanoparticles. This imaging is carried out with the Fluobeam.
