Many neurobiological applications such as monitoring of embryonic
or neonatal brain development, study of cell lineage, and the
study of progressive neural degenerative diseases associated
with mouse models can be complimented with the use of the Vevo
770 high-resolution imaging system. In addition, although ultrasound
is unable to penetrate bone, the Vevo 770 successfully provides
high-resolution images of the neonate mouse brain prior to ossification
of the skull.
Features and Benefits of the Vevo 770 High-Resolution Imaging
System for Neurobiology:
- > Real-time visualization
of image-guided needle injections and extractions: Targeted
needle injections of cells, genetic material, drugs and
retroviruses can be visualized in real-time in small animal
embryos through to adulthood.
- > Assists in study
of cell lineage and fate in mouse embryos: The Vevo
770 can assist in the study of cell lineage and fate in
mouse embryos using both retroviruses and trasfected cell
lines expressing secreted proteins.
- > Monitor Small
Animal Brain Development: Due to the extremely high-resolution
images that can be derived, the Neurobiologist can image
and study embryonic and neonatal brain development. The
non-invasive nature of the system allows for longitudinal
study of the same mouse.
- > The integrated
image-guided needle injection system is easy to learn and
to obtain results: The Vevo 770 is simple to use so
that researchers can maximize their time performing post-imaging
analysis. The integrated rail system and image-guided needle
injection system are easily mounted, prepared and operated.
Precision adjustments are easily made to ensure that the
RMV Scanhead, the injection system, and the mouse table
are all in alignment to most effectively ensure a successful
procedure.
