COSMETOMICS@CY
COSMETOMICS@CY proposes and develops efficacy tests and measures about cosmetic products. In particular, COSMETOMICS@CY provides a TMS-500 TopMap which is a high precision non-contact topography measurement system, using a white light interferometer for fast and precise surface characterization of various samples (skin explant in our cases). Flatness and parallelism parameters, even for macroscopic samples, can be checked quickly with excellent repeatability.
Keywords:
• Cosmetic test • Efficiency

Microscopy & Analysis
This platform is an imaging technical platform that develops and proposes multimodal characterization approaches in the life sciences and materials. The platform has a complementary offer to analyze a wide range of observation scales (from nm to cm). It consists mainly of three microscopes: an atomic force microscope (AFM), a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) integrated with Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The originality of this platform is to develops the different correlative approaches: SEM/CLSM (CLEM), AFM/RAMAN, etc... For this purpose, the platform is equipped with an SEM coupling with a Raman spectrometer, which makes it possible to identify not only the chemical elements but also the molecules of sample. Additionally, the spatial distribution of constituents in a sample can be imaged. This provides unprecedented time
savings and efficiency.

THE U-MAKER PROJECT (Teaching / Geology / 3D printing)
U-Maker is a project but also an open-lab associated with the field of geology. U-Maker is developing projects in the field of Earth science education and scientific mediation of industrial (or other) projects. U-Maker designs 3D printed models to help the understanding of geological structures and raising decision-makers’ awareness of geological issues.
