Intravital Microscopy(IVM) is an all-in-one two-photon and/or confocal microscopy system designed and optimized for longitudinal imaging of live animal models in vivo.
This state-of-art equipment has been designed around ease-of-use and augmented throughput as a next-generation core technology for biologists and translational scientists to elucidate the underlaying mechanism of every biological phenomena at tissue and cellular level. Confocal IVM systems enable optical sectioning of in vivo tissue via rejection of out-of-focus fluorescence light coming from the background tissue which will result in images with high contrast and quality. Two-photon IVM systems are equipped with lasers which use longer-wavelength near-infrared (NIR) fs-pulse excitation capable of deep tissue imaging as well as label-free, non-linear multi-harmonic generation imaging (SHG, THG).
