IR VIVO™
IR VIVO™
NIR-II Preclinical Imager
Imaging in the Second Biological Window
IR VIVO 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. 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.
NIR-II Imaging properties
- High spatial resolution
- High temporal resolution (real-time dynamics)
- Non-ionizing & non-invasive
- Good penetration depth (10x greater than traditional visible optical systems).
