The IVIS SpectrumCT 2 in vivo optical imaging system is an integrated platform that combines the full suite of IVIS optical features including; spectral unmixing and 2D and 3D quantitative bioluminescence & fluorescence imaging, with fast, low dose microCT imaging.
Similar to the IVIS Spectrum 2 (part number CLS158738) optical imaging system, the IVIS SpectrumCT 2 incorporates a CCD camera with eXcelon® coating that enables detection of more signal at higher efficiency across a broader spectrum of wavelengths.
The simple user interface along with advanced visualization and analysis tools are driven by the market leading, easy to use Living Image® software. The IVIS SpectrumCT 2 enables longitudinal workflows to characterize disease progression and therapeutic effect throughout the complete experimental time frame with both quantitative CT and optical reconstructions. Fast imaging and the ability to image multiple animals offers the throughput required to scan large cohorts of animals quickly and draw sound conclusions from your experimental data.
