IVIS LUMINA Small Animal Imager

The IVIS Lumina XR is live, whole animal imaging system capable of performing longitudinal fluorescence, bioluminescence and X-ray scans on in vivo and ex vivo subjects. The IVIS Lumina XR is capable of imaging all common fluorescent and bioluminescent reporters/dyes ranging from green (~488 nm) to near-infrared. The unit also contains an isoflurane-based, gas anesthesia system used for live animal studies, though investigators may utilize other methods of anesthesia provided they are approved and documented by the UT-IACUC.
