Fluorescence Imaging System

Fluoptics launches the first NEW HAND-HELD system for near infrared fluorescent animal imaging: Fluobeam^™

This innovative hand-held imaging system detects 2D in vivo fluorescence. Fluobeam^™ is equipped with a laser able to excite the near infrared fluorophores (NIR), associated with a crown of LEDs allowing to work under white light in opened space with a direct access to the animal.

Fluobeam^™

Fluobeam^™ is available at two excitation wavelengths:

Fluobeam^™ 700 (λ_ex: 680nm / λ_em: >700nm)
Fluobeam^™ 800 (λ_ex: 780nm / λ_em: >800nm)

Fluobeam^™ is compatible with the most of the NIR dyes available on the market; it is one of the most sensitive systems, with an opened design for unconstrained protocols which allow to perform imaging from small (mouse, rat) to large animals (rabbit, pig, monkey, ewe, etc…).

Mechanical stand for Fluobeam^™ :

A mechanical stand for Fluobeam^™ is also available and recommended for preclinical applications which might require
semi-quantification of the fluorescent signal or long integration times.
