Optical configurations are parcentered and parfocal
Product details
Now researchers can take detection of fluorescent markers in small animals to a new level with the iBox Explorer² Imaging Microscope! The iBox Explorer² is unique in its ability to view macro to micro in the whole animal to individual cell, subcutaneously and within the body cavity of mice. The upright optics provide an ultra long working distance and high numerical aperture (NA) for detailed fluorescent in vivo imaging.
The UVP iBox Explorer² easily detects GFP/RFP and other fluorescent markers in small animals. The capabilities of this in vivo small animal imaging system enables research studies in whole animal down to individual cells.
Focusing on Fluorescent Cancer Cell Detection
In research performed, HT1080 fluorescent cancer cells were injected into the epigastrica cranialis. Immediately after the injection, the fluorescence indicates the cells escaped around the injection sites. In the zoomed in views, a cluster of cancer cells can be observed in the blood stream.
System Capabilities
Capture images with a superior cooled CCD camera and optics that are optimized for VIS - NIR imaging
View the whole animal to the single cell level via the motorized optics
