The IR VIVO NIR-II Preclinical Imager from Photon etc. is an infrared multispectral imager for small animal studies. This system benefits from reduced light scattering, absorption and auto-fluorescence by using a detection system in the near and short-wave infrared.
IR VIVO is a pre-clinical imager that images in the second biological window. IR VIVO allows you to visualize your biomarkers in vivo and in real-time with optimized contrast resolution and sensitivity. IR VIVO takes advantage of the most recent developments in SWIR imaging with an ultra-low-noise InGaAs camera (Alizé 1.7 or ZephIR 1.7), novel homogeneous illumination and powerful analytical software to provide an unprecedented combination of fast, high resolution and deep imaging.
High spatial resolution
High temporal resolution (real-time dynamics)
Non-ionizing & non-invasive
Good penetration depth (10x greater than traditional visible optical systems)
