Platform PAPIO – Palevoprim

The PALEVOPRIM laboratory conducts interdisciplinary research focused on the study of ancient primate ecosystems, which requires a wide range of tools and technical expertise in the fields of life and Earth sciences.

These facilities are grouped within a technical platform and organized into four main areas: 3D imaging, fossil preparation and casting, paleomagnetism, and spatial analyses.

Platform PAPIO

3D Imaging

Several computer and graphics workstations
enable all kinds of 3D data processing.

Digital microscopy

Digital microscopy

Study and photographic capture
of small fossil specimens.

Confocal microscopy

Confocal microscopy

3D capture of dental enamel surfaces.

3D Scanning

In addition to producing a virtual replica
(3D mesh), they can also capture
the object’s textures.

3D Printing

Production of 3D prints from photopolymer
resin with a palette of more
than 10 million colors.

Paleomagnetism

An essential tool for determining
the age of fossil-bearing sites.

Spatial data analysis

Spatial data analysis

Precise geolocation surveys of localities
and in situ fossil specimens.

Preparation / Molding

Preparation / Molding

Preparation, preparation and consolidation
of fossil material.
