Experimentation rooms

• 5 rooms for experimentation or culture of organisms under controlled conditions (temperature, light).

Preparation and observation room

This room is mainly dedicated to the preparation, observation and determination of samples of aquatic plants (phytoplankton, phytobenthos and macrophytes) and freshwater micro-meiofauna. Observations are carried out using macro and microscopic tools. The samples of interest are then kept in a collection.

Observation and data acquisition facilities

• a storage room for samples awaiting processing,
• rooms dedicated to sample preparation, macro- and microscopic observation and determination, with access to a large documentary collection of taxonomic works (micro-algae, micro-meiofauna and aquatic plants), and to the measurement of abiotic and biotic parameters,
• equipment for in situ and ex situ sampling of water, biological samples, sediments and measurements, including physico-chemical analysis equipment for the acquisition of various parameters (temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, algae classes, cyanobacteria density, luminosity, etc.).
• an autoclave room
