Overview

Tractable, Fast and Gentle

IVM-C3 stands as a remarkably integrated Intravital Microscopy solution designed for in vivo imaging. It boasts significantly heightened detection efficiency, optical resolution, and image contrast compared to conventional fluorescence microscopy methods. With a 4-wavelength laser and four high-sensitivity confocal detectors, IVM-C3 facilitates multi-dimensional perspectives of living cells and tissues in both 3D and 4D, supporting up to four different colors. This system proves optimal for concurrently observing diverse dynamic multi-cellular behaviors in small live animal models.

Key Features

■ Simultaneous Multi-Color Imaging (4 channels, 4 different colors)

■ Fully Integrated In Vivo Maintenance Unit / Animal Stage (e.g., Monitoring & Homeostatic Regulation of Animal Vitality)

■ Ultra High-Speed Imaging (max. 50 fps - 512 x 512 pixels)

■ 4D Animal Motion Compensation (XYZ & Time)
