Ultima In Vivo Multiphoton Microscopy System

The Prairie Ultima In Vivo (IV) is specifically designed for the unique needs of the in vivo researcher. Its remarkable design provides 8-13 inches (20-33cm) of clearance under the objective lens for in vivo imaging of medium-sized organisms. Mounted on a post that can be either fixed directly to the table or mounted to a motor-driven X-Y stage, the user can choose to move either the specimen or the microscope. A built-in epifluorescence illuminator arm allows normal fluorescence imaging through the microscope eyepieces in order to locate the area of interest for study with two-photon imaging.
