Xenogen IVIS 100
- The IVIS® Imaging System 100 Series is a sensitive and large field
of view imaging system. The IVIS® 100 Series 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 –90°C via a closed cycle
refrigeration system (without liquid nitrogen) to minimize electronic
background and maximize sensitivity. A patented and extremely
light-tight, low background imaging chamber allows the IVIS® 100 Series
to be used in standard lab lighting environments. The system includes
animal handling features such as a heated sample shelf, gas anesthesia
connections, and an optional full gas anesthesia system. The IVIS®
Imaging System 100 Series is highly automated with all hardware motor
movement, imaging parameters, and image analysis controlled via Living
Image® software.
