Description
This highly-sensitive system detects bioluminescent and fluorescent signals, for non-invasive longitudinal studies of animals including cell trafficking, gene expression, drug therapies and disease progression.
3D tomography allows in-vivo source localisation and selective excitation/emission filters spanning 430-850 nm's permit multiple fluorescent sources within the same animal to be detected.
Images can be co-localised with data from the Quantum FX MicroCT for greater anatomical analysis.
Specification
Highly sensitive CCD camera allows up to 20 µm resolutions.
10 excitation filters and 18 emission filters (30 nm and 20 nm bandwidths respectively) reduce autofluorescence through their high selectivity, aided by spectral unmixing.
3D imaging is achieved 1 animal at a time, 2D permits up to 5 animals.
