The Xenogen IVIS Imaging 200 Series system allows researchers to use real-time, non-invasive imaging to monitor and record cellular and genetic activity in vivo. Integrated into the system are both a bioluminescence system and a fluorescence system and the capability to easily switch between modalities. A laser scanner also provides 3D surface topography for single-view diffuse tomographic reconstructions of internal sources. Background noise is minimized while sensitivity is maximized using a 26 mm square CCD which is cryogenically cooled. An anesthetic system is built-in to keep animals anesthetized for the duration of the experiment. Scans generally take 1-10 minutes to complete with five field of view options ranging from 4 cm to 25 cm.
