Open near infrared fluorescence imaging
The LightIR is an open fluorescence imaging device designed for preclinical fluorescence imaging or clinical research.
Key Features:
1. Near infrared fluorescence and NIR-II fluorescence
2. Preclinical studies, or clinical studies under IRB approval
3. Small or large animals
List of common fluorescent moieties used with the LightIR:
- Cy5, Cy5.5, Cy7, IRDye 700 and IRDye 800 from LiCOR, Indocyanine Green (ICG), ZW 800
- Rare earth (lanthanides), quantum dots and various fluorescent nanoparticles
- The various IVISense fluorescent agents (680, 700, 800)
- Alexa Fluor AF 680, AF 700, AF 750, AF 790
- infrared fluorescent protein: iRFP
Near infrared and NIR-II fluorescence
- Limited autofluorescence
- Great depth penetration
- Better resolution
NIR-II fluorescence (900 to 1650 nm)
- Virtually no autofluorescence
- Imaging through skull, bone, melanin (melanoma studies)
