IVIS Spectrum In Vivo Imaging System 

The IVIS Spectrum Imaging System enables high-sensitivity non-invasive in vivo fluorescent and bioluminescent imaging.

This system features high resolution to 20 microns with a 3.9 cm field of view, high throughput imaging of up to 5 mice with a 23 cm field of view, and twenty eight high efficiency filters which span from 415-850nm for imaging across the blue to near infrared wavelength region.

Spectral unmixing tools allow for the separation of signals from multiple fluorescent reporters within the same animal enabling the use of multiple reporters.

An optical switch in the fluorescence illumination path allows illumination in either reflection-mode (epi-illumination/above) or transmission-mode (trans- illumination/below).

Living Image Acquisition/Analysis Package software allows for advanced quantification and analysis of data. 

 Vevo 3100 Ultrasound 

The Vevo 3100 micro-ultrasound imaging system combines ultra high-frequency ultrasound imaging operating up to 70 MHz and imaging up to 300 frames per second. The system is equipped with complete animal setup and handling to achieve noninvasive in vivo imaging under accurate physiological conditions (temperature-controlled heated stage, gas anesthesia, with EKG, temperature, and respiratory rate monitoring). The system has an injection setup mounted on dedicated rail-system extensions to enable Y-axis stage adjustment that can be used to assist in image-guided injections. Three transducers are available:
• MX201: 18 Mhz MX series transducer: 100 micron resolution for rats > 400 g for cardiovascular & abdominal imaging. 
• MX250: 24 MHz MicroScan transducer: 75 micron resolution for rats <400 g for cardiovascular & abdominal imaging, large tumor imaging, all contrast applications. 
• MX550D: 55 MHz MicroScan transducer: 40 micron resolution. High-resolution cardiovascular imaging, mouse abdominal, reproductive, mouse/rat embryology, tumor imaging (up to 14 mm in diameter), mouse vascular imaging. 

Albira Si PET/SPECT/CT imaging system

The Albira Si is a trimodal imaging system that integrates Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) within one fully x-ray shielded and stand-alone imaging platform. The fully automated animal handling system enables automatic co-registration of images.
