With PICsL, the Marseille node aims at fostering new technolologies and photonic innovation for cell imaging.

The Marseille FBI node, through PICsL (Plateforme d'Imagerie Commune du site de Luminy), is dedicated to promoting multi-modal imaging using both light and electron microscopy for life sciences. This node brings together four major life sciences institutes (CIML, IBDM, InMED, IMM), offering access to shared facilities.

Supported by strong scientific collaborations and dynamic industrial partnerships, the Marseille node provides a range of advanced imaging systems, including multiphoton, confocal, light sheet, super-resolution microscopy, as well as cryo and volume electron microscopy. PICsL’s team of experts specializes in developing cutting-edge techniques for light and electron microscopy, benefiting researchers in cell and developmental biology, immunology, neurobiology, and microbiology.
