Understanding the Vivo Imaging System
Vivo imaging also referred to as in vivo (Latin for within the living) is a technology that allows you to view the biological processes and metabolic processes in animal models through the use of non invasive visible light imaging. The system allows one to see through animals or rather organisms by making the cells invisible. Vivo imaging is mainly used in the study of biological signaling networks and pathways, apoptosis, gene expression and angiogenesis just to mention a few.
This technology has been of much use to the researchers who use it in checking or rather diagnosing animals that are ill or unwell. The images produced by vivo imaging are quite lucid and allow the researchers to get a good and clear look of what is really going on within the animal’s body. As you can already guess, this has brought so much convenience in to the world of science.
With the development of such a technology, different systems of the vivo imaging have been developed to cater for the different needs of researchers. For instance, there is a vivo imager that is inclusive of a box which does not have features for anaesthetizing the animal. Reason being, researchers have discovered that some types of disease causing organisms become inactive when the host becomes anaesthetized, this makes it impossible for the researchers to detect the organisms.
The vivo imager basically consists of a box where the animal is kept, a computer interface and a near infrared capable CCD imaging system. These three are the main components of the device. The box is specifically to keep the animal comfortable and anaesthetized. This is made possible through the available ports that can be used to pass the gas pipes. As mentioned earlier, different system will have different features. Either way, the CCD imager is the most important of them all.
Today fortunately you can learn more about this vivo imaging system, at the same time the functionality, flexibility and image quality of the Vevo 770 system, operating at frequencies never before achieved with solid-state array transducers.
Nevertheless you need to make sure that you only seek information and details from the right resources as they are tons of irrelevant articles out there that may lead you to the wrong information. Keep in mind to look after the best source that provides all the fundamental and basic information about modalities specifically designed for preclinical research.
