IVIS 100
The IVIS Imaging System 100 from (Xenogen) Caliper Life Sciences is a highly sensitive and large field of view imaging system that offers users the flexibility to image fluorescent and/or bioluminescent reporters both in vivo and in vitro. It relies on Xenogen’s novel patented optical imaging technologies to facilitate non-invasive longitudinal monitoring of disease progression, cell trafficking and gene expression patterns in living animals.
The IVIS 100 offers an adjustable field of view of 10-25 cm, allowing 5 mice or 2 large rats to be imaged. The system features a 25 mm (1.0 inch) square back-thinned, back-illuminated CCD, which is cryogenically cooled to –105°C via a closed cycle refrigeration system (without liquid nitrogen) to minimize electronic background and maximize sensitivity. The IVIS Imaging System is highly automated with all hardware motor movement, imaging parameters, and image analysis controlled via Living Image® software.
