Introduction
The iBox Small Animal Imaging System is designed to automate research with one-touch, pre-set or user-
defined PC controls for accurate, repeatable imaging of small animals.
The iBox system incorporates the light tight darkroom, BioLite and matched emission/excitation green
fluorescent protein (GFP) and red fluorescent protein (RFP) filter sets.
The darkroom has a UV blocking window, built-in overhead 365nm UV, Visi-Blue™ 480nm and white light,
five-position emission filter array, and a software controlled power lift.
The iBox system comes equipped with a warming plate with internal heating elements that keep the surface
of the warming plate at a constant 37
°C.
The BioLite offers an eight position filter wheel, six position intensity selector, and a direct lighting source
using fiber optic bundles to tightly control the output spectrum for consistent, repeatable measurements.
The iBox offers a highly sensitive CCD camera for in vivo applications and supplies real time, live preview
images.
