IntraVital Microscopy

Intravital microscopy enables dynamic 3D cellular-level imaging of various biological processes in living animals in vivo. It enables scientists to directly verify hypotheses derived from ex vivo or in vitro observations in natural physiological in vivo microenvironments.

Using intravital microscopy, in vivo visualizations of gene expression, protein activity, cell trafficking, cell-cell / cell-microenvironment interaction and various physiological responses to stimuli have been accomplished providing imperative novel insights, which have been impossible to obtain with Micro-scale static 2D observation of ex vivo or in vitro samples.

However, up to now, individual users have had to improvise the required functions for each of the intravital imaging applications for the various organs with conventional standalone microscope, which resulted in non-optimal imaging performance and limited applicability.

IVIM Technology’s All-in-One intravital microscopy system is extensively optimized and carefully engineered to provide superb performance in the intravital imaging of live animal models in vivo.

The world’s first All-in-One intravital microscopy platform from IVIM Technology is a key solution that can explore complex dynamic behaviors of numerous cells inside a living body and continuously serve as next generation core technology to elucidate unknown pathophysiology of various human diseases and discover new cures for them.
