Description
Open near infrared fluorescence imaging
The LightIR is an open fluorescence imaging device designed for preclinical fluorescence imaging or clinical research.
Key Features:
1. Near infrared fluorescence and NIR-II fluorescence
2. Preclinical studies, or clinical studies under IRB approval
3. Small or large animals
