(November 14, 2024) NIR-II Fluorescence imaging: Why, When and How
Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) Imaging, also known as NIR-II imaging, operates in the 900–2000 nm wavelength range and represents a significant advancement for in vivo preclinical applications. This imaging method offers numerous advantages over traditional VIS/NIR imaging, thanks to its unique optical properties, which allow for deeper tissue penetration, reduced autofluorescence, enhanced image clarity, and an improved signal-to-noise ratio. NIR-II imaging provides highly detailed insights into vascular blood flow, drug dispersion in metabolic studies, tumor targeting, tumor angiogenesis, brain tumors, and even single-cell imaging.
In this webinar, we discovered Vilber Bio Imaging’s latest NIR-II imaging technology for small animals—the NEWTON FT-900. This powerful, versatile imager combines dual-camera SWIR imaging capabilities with traditional Bioluminescence and VIS/NIR Fluorescence imaging, delivering a comprehensive imaging solution in one device.
Learning Objectives:
– Understand the advantages of NIR-II in vivo imaging compared to
traditional imaging techniques
– Explore key in vivo applications for SWIR imaging
– Gain a technical overview of the Newton FT-900
