In Vivo Fibre Optic Fluorescence Microscopy
Our unique CellVizio Dual Band system is using a thin <1 mm diameter fibre optic probe. Light emitted from fluorescent probes is detected from inside the living animal’s body with true cellular resolution in real time.
Luminal organs eg. vessels, airways, intestines can be surface-scanned. Tumors can be implanted with the probe and imaged. Central Nervous System (brain, spinal chord) can be implanted and observed for e.g. Calcium-Channel Activation patterns.
Functions of
-mucosal and ciliary surfaces
-blood vessels
-tumor cells
-CNS cells
are thus monitored in the living animal with real cellular visualization of fluorescence.
