The Xenogen IVIS 200 System allows researchers to use real-time
imaging to monitor and record cellular and genetic activity within a
living organism. Features of the system include a custom lens with 5-position
carousel and adjustable field of view of 4-25 cm, more uniform light
collection, and improved resolution with single cell sensitivity for
in vitro use.
