Olympus IV100 Intravital Laser Scanning Microscope
Olympus Updated: 2008-09-02 RSSThe IV100 is a new intravital laser scanning microscope for small animal imaging. The core technology of IV100 is a new class of objective lens. Olympus has miniaturized the high performance objective to produce the MicroProbe objective lens, nicknamed the “Stick Lens” by researchers. With UIS2 technology, the performance of MicroProbe lenses are extended into the NIR range (up to 1000nm).
The IV100 is equipped with up to four lasers (488/561/633/748nm) and is able to image multiple fluorescence probes simultaneously. The scan head has a tilting capability to facilitate objective orientation in three dimensions. Three magnifications of MicroProbe lenses enable the user to capture either a large field of view or high resolution images on a living animal. Certain conventional microscope objectives can also be used on IV100 as well.
* 3 simultaneous detection channels for multicolor fluorescence
* 4 lasers 488, 561, 633, 748 nm
* Immersible MicroProbe lens technology for minimal invasiveness and chemical sterilization
* Multipositional, tilting scanhead
* X,Y,Z,T scan combination
* 76mm range in Z
* Heating plate and anesthesia device
