Optima: OPTics and IMAging

A specificity of our team is to address relatively fundamental issues related to the physics of imaging and wave-matter interaction, to develop new laboratory or commercial instruments integrating our scientific advances and to appropriate biological and biomedical topics for which our scientific and technical know-how constitutes an important added value.
