Imaging Platform – Cytometry / Microscopy Imaging Cytometry Azur (MICA)
About
Our service is a component of the MICA platform (Microscopy Imaging Côte d'Azur) of Nice, which pools the imaging and microscopy services of numerous research partners on the Côte d'Azur: the Valrose Institute of Biology (iBV), the Mediterranean Center for Molecular Medicine (C3M), the Cancer and Aging Research Institute (IRCAN), the Developmental Biology Laboratory (Biodev), the Joint Center for Applied Microscopy (CCMA), and the Sophia Agrobiotech Institute (ISA INRA).
You can access cytometry techniques, microscopy and training courses available through the platform's website. univ-cotedazur.fr/mica
