Optical Imaging

The IVIS® Lumina™ X5 high-throughput 2D optical imaging system combines high-sensitivity bioluminescence and fluorescence with high resolution x-ray. This instrument is the workhorse for those undertaking preclinical assessment of novel therapeutics or imaging agents.

Capabilities include high throughput optical and X-ray imaging, high resolution low dose X-ray with optical overlay, Compute Pure Spectrum (CPS) spectral unmixing for deconvolution of multiple fluorophores, fluorescence detection from the visible spectrum through the NIR spectrum, and rapid data acquisition. The IVIS supports mouse or rat imaging.

This instrument is the workhorse for those undertaking preclinical assessment of novel therapeutics or imaging agents, with high-throughput enabled by the rapid screening of up to five mice simultaneously.

Capabilities include:

• High-throughput optical and x-ray
• High resolution, low dose X-ray with optical overlay
• Supports mouse or rat imaging (20 x 20cm FOV)
• Compute Pure Spectrum (CPS) spectral unmixing
• Full fluorescence tenability through the NIR spectrum (up to 900 nm)
• Rapid data acquisition, analysis with streamlined workflows
