| PhotonIMAGER™ Dynamic optical imaging systems The PhotonIMAGERTM is a modular system for the non-invasive detection, localization and quantification of dynamic optical signal from live animals. A unique photon counting technology makes it extremely sensitive from the very start of image acquisition and enables the unparalleled kinetic recording of dynamic processes without the need for setting acquisition time, or pixel binning prior to imaging. The PhotonIMAGERTM continuously displays the light distribution during an experiment and image acquisition can be stopped at any time. This is a key advantage for luminescence imaging and can open new horizons for fluorescence imaging. Unlike other Pre-Clinical Imaging systems, the dynamic imaging capability of the PhotonIMAGER delivers impressive performance, whilst its modular design philosophy ensures that the systems capabilities can be extended, as further state-of-the-art imaging technologies become available. Biospace Lab offers two PhotonIMAGER systems and many combinations of modules, so you can adapt your choice to your needs. The PhotonIMAGER Optima system is a fully comprehensive solution for advanced in vivo optical imaging applications and is unequalled in its performance. The PhotonIMAGER RT system is a modular entry level solution for routine in vivo luminescence and fluorescence imaging applications. |
PhotonIMAGER™
Dynamic Optical Imaging Systems for Fluorescence and Luminescence
The Photon Imager is a dynamic, modular system for the non-invasive detection, localization and quantification of dynamic optical signal - bioluminescence or fluorescence – from live animals. A unique photon counting technology makes it extremely sensitive from the very start of image acquisition and enables the unparalleled kinetic recording of dynamic processes without the need for setting acquisition time, or pixel binning prior to imaging. The PhotonIMAGER™ continuously displays the light distribution during an experiment and image acquisition can be stopped at any time. This is a key advantage for luminescence imaging and can open new horizons for fluorescence imaging. Unlike other Pre-Clinical Imaging systems, the real-time imaging capability of the PhotonIMAGER™ delivers impressive performance, whilst its modular design philosophy ensures that the systems capabilities can be extended, as further state-of-the-art imaging technologies become available.
Key Benefits of the PhotonIMAGER™ systems:
Easy Bioluminescence & Fluorescence Imaging
Unmatched Performance & accuracy
Real-time imaging capability
Modular philosophy
Ease of use
Easy Luminescence & Fluorescence Imaging
- Full spectrum imaging capability from blue to near-infrared in luminescence and fluorescence: Continuous selection of excitation wavelength from 450 up to 1000 nm
- Equipped with up to 10 band pass emission filters
- Automated autofluorescence substraction
- Spectral Unmixing
- Multilabeling Capacities
- From whole body to cell dimensions
High Sensitivity with an Intensified CCD camera
The PhotonIMAGER™design incorporates an intensified CCD camera, which makes it highly sensitive from the very first moments of image acquisition. iCCD technology amplifies all light emitted from the specimen by a factor 106; making the Photon Imager one of the most sensitive systems on the market for detection of low signal levels. Read more about the operating principles
- Detection of weak signals
- Negligible read out noise
- No more pixel binning and exposure time settings prior to imaging
- Acquisition from the very first second
- High Temporal Resolution of 23ms
Accurate signal localisation and quantification
Outstanding dynamic range
The PhotonIMAGER™ design ensures signal intensification by a factor of 106 and as a consequence, the PhotonIMAGER™ is the most sensitive system on the market for detection of weak light signals. Furthermore, users of the PhotonIMAGER™ can rely on an unequalled linear dynamic range: bioluminescence expression in tissues can thereby be followed, quantified and compared; from early detection of weak signal, through to later development of higher signal strength.
4-View and 3D imaging
The 4 View module helps increasing the analysis accuracy and relevance of your acquisitions. It offers a precise quantification by providing you not only one but several views of your animal (dorsal, ventral, and lateral views) simultaneously and in real time. The 4-View module is an excellent tool for a better localization of optical signals. Read more
With the 3D Pack installed, the PhotonIMAGER™ retains its real-time imaging capability; making dynamic 3-dimensional bioluminescence signal measurement over time (4D Imaging) a reality. Read more
Dynamic imaging capability
Thanks to its high temporal resolution and excellent sensitivity the PhotonIMAGER™continuously displays the light distribution from the first seconds of the experiment and can be stopped at any time. The dynamic imaging capability of the PhotonIMAGER™ system allows the signal kinetics to be followed precisely and independently, even when the signal is weak. It provides precise control over the time-zone selected for the measurement of each ROI, both during and following signal acquisition. The ideal signal measurement window can always be accuray selected for each animal or anatomical region in turn
- Visualize results in seconds
- Follow your acquisition in real-time and stop acquisition at any time
- No more guessing: Acquisition time or pixel binning settings prior to imaging is not necessary. - - Bias linked to bioluminescent reaction kinetics are suppressed
- No need to assume a hypothethical output curve as the actual kinetic curves are availabe
- Allows the recording of fast signal kinetics
