Overview

Cost-Saving, Hands-Free

IVM-MS3 represents the smart evolution of IVM-M3, offering an All-in-One Two-Photon Intravital Microscopy solution optimized for In Vivo imaging. This system integrates a compact, high- stability, and maintenance-free fs-pulse laser unit into a single box, streamlining the imaging process. With a fixed wavelength of 920nm, IVM-MS3 excels at imaging deep tissues, making it an ideal choice for researchers with specific targets but limited resources and budget constraints.

Key Features

■ Simple and Hands-Free Turn-Key Operation of 920 nm NIR fs-Laser for Deep Tissue Imaging

■ Label-free, Non-Linear Second Harmonic Generation Ability

■ 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)
