Carestream Molecular debuts new preclinical imaging camera

Carestream Molecular Imaging has added the In-Vivo Xtreme to its family of multimodal imaging products for preclinical research. Xtreme will be introduced at the World Molecular Imaging Congress (WMIC) Sept. 7-10 in San Diego.

Xtreme currently comes in two camera configurations, according to the Woodbridge, Conn.-based company. The front-illuminated 16MP camera is suited for high-resolution applications, while the back-illuminated 4MP camera is appropriate for low light imaging experiments. 

Other features of the Xtreme, according to Carestream Molecular, include:
  • An f/1.1 lens coupled with a CCD sensor for fluorescence, luminescence and radioisotopic imaging;
  • A radiographic phosphor screen coupled with a micro focus x-ray head;
  • New Multiplex software with quantitative tools;
  • A 20 x 20 cm FOV and wide-angle emission filters;
  • A 400W Xenon illumination source to be used across all wavelengths from the visible and NIR spectrum; and  
  • The Multimodal Animal Rotation System.

Xtreme comes with MI Software, a suite of tools for acquisition, visualization and quantification of imaging data. Researchers who also need to perform quantitative 3D tomographic imaging can complement the In-Vivo Xtreme with Carestream’s Albira PET/SPECT/CT system.
