Optical Imaging


Optical Imaging provides visual and quantitative representations of biophotonic data generated from within living organisms by detecting light-producing biological reactions from the enzyme luciferase in living animals as they happen. Providing a "window" into the organism to track biological activity in real-time, at the molecular level.

The sensitive camera and software system capture this image, analyze it, and monitor cellular or genetic activity and use the results to track gene expression, the spread of a disease, or the effect of the new drug candidate in vivo.
