iBox Spectra Imaging System 3
Introduction
The iBox Spectra Small Animal Imaging System is a high resolution imager designed as a quick
screening device for accurate, repeatable imaging of small animals. The self-contained imaging system
contains a built-in 15.6” touch screen and computer as well as a light-tight darkroom with TS2 Software for
image acquisition. In addition, the iBox Spectra comes equipped with a warming plate to help maintain the
animal at a constant 37°C. The iBox offers a color camera and motorized lens for in vivo applications,
providing real-time, live preview images.
Included as standard with the system is a Manual BioLite which offers a direct lighting source using fiber
optic bundles to tightly control the output spectrum for consistent, repeatable measurements. The Manual
BioLite utilizes matched excitation (455-495nm) and emission (515 long pass) filters for visualization of
small animals.
The darkroom has a sample viewer window built into the darkroom door, integrated overhead epi white
lighting for sample placement, and a motorized, five-position slide-out emission filter wheel. Images can be
saved to the internal hard drive, to an external USB storage device or to a wired or wireless network drive
for later analysis or enhancement for publication.
