MARS Multimodal Animal Rotation System
Now there’s no need to worry about missing critical optical signals due to the orientation of your animal. Because light does not always penetrate through an entire animal MARS is designed to image your animals with 360° coverage. The new MARS Multimodal Animal Rotation System automatically rotates a mouse to the desired angle or angles to capture all relevant molecular and anatomical information. MARS rotation software enables automatic co-registration and visualization of multimodal and multispectral data sets from all acquired angles. Increase sensitivity by quantifying the perfect image or simply export an entire rotation movie.
Capture and record digital X-ray from multiple angles to
provide just the right image of bones or soft tissue structure
with a single click.
- Precise co-registration of optical and X-ray signals
- Preview mode
- Automatic multimodal overlay
- Simple software guided calibration routine
- High quality visualization; easy export of rotation movies
- Easy to use and customizable rotation protocols:
re-acquire with a single click.
MARS Applications - Probe validation
- Cell tracking
- Biomarker validation
- Enzyme activity
- Bone disease
- Inflammatory disease
- Nanoparticle tracking and delivery
MARS comes complete with the animal rotation device, controlling software in Carestream MI, and the multimodal visualization and co-registration software.
