Plateforme de microscopie automatisée

The CEREGE Research Unit developed unique recognition tools in the field of micropaleontology. In particular, one of its research teams (team "Climate") created automated classification softwares applied to coccoliths and coccolithophorids (SYRACO), foraminids and radiolarians (ParticleTrieur) on a routine base. All the image acquisition and processing equipments form together the MICROAUTOMATE facility.
