KODAK In-Vivo Imaging System FX Pro Overview

Unmatched Imaging Versatility

  • Greatly enhances anatomical localization of molecular imaging agent signals in small animals, organs, and tissues
  • Enables accurate quantification of biomolecules of interest in basic research, drug discovery, drug development, and therapeutic monitoring applications in small animal models
  • Improves understanding of imaging agent's bio-distribution through combined use of time-lapse molecular imaging and X-ray imaging
  • Automated switching between multiple imaging modalities including multi-wavelength fluorescent, luminescent, radioisotopic, and X-ray — without disturbing the sample
  • Versatile system design also accommodates in vitro assay formats including blots, plates and gels

Precision Automation

  • Computer controlled configuration minimizes setup time, maximizing efficiency and throughput of measurements
  • The highly accurate automated lens system records the precise f-stop, zoom and focal plane parameters for reproducibility and traceability
  • KODAK MI software recalls and automatically utilizes exact imaging parameters to generate reproducible image settings
  • Smart digital positioning technology with 15-position excitation and 4-position emission filters ensure precise positioning

Superior Image Quality

  • 4-million pixel resolution and 10x optical zoom allow up to 10 micron/pixel resolution
  • True 16-bit imaging produces more than 65,000 levels of grayscale resolution in a single capture for accurate intensity measurement
  • Full illumination and lens correction algorithms minimize optical artifacts in images and data
  • Patented wide angle emission filters eliminate image artifacts to enhance detection sensitivity and image quality
  • Closed Optical Path Image (COPI) chamber design isolates the optical path from laboratory contaminants, eliminating contamination artifacts

Fast, Convenient Workflow

  • Time saving high speed illumination with a focused xenon light source ensures high quality images and optimal throughput
  • Live preview and Autofocus functions facilitate easy subject positioning and focusing
  • Predict Exposure and Auto Stop functions eliminate exposure trial and error
  • Time Lapse and Progressive exposure modes automatically execute multiple imaging protocols
  • Create one click access templates for commonly used exposure routines
  • Automated aluminum filters enable control of X-ray wavelengths for optimal X-ray imaging of tissue or bone samples
  • Comprehensive KODAK Molecular Imaging software allows full control over camera as well as accurate quantitative analysis, including comparative intensity, geometry and positional analysis of regions of interest.
