Overview

The IVM-FS system offers the same functions as the IVM-CMS3 system, with the key difference being its larger stage and modules, designed to accommodate animals larger than mice and rats (older than 6 weeks), such as ferrets, rabbits, and others. With the dark curtain provided, there's no need for a dedicated dark room or specific space just for the microscope.
