Overview
The MOIS Series (HTP / HT / HTX) delivers high-performance in vivo imaging for small animal studies across oncology, immunology, pharmacology, and stem cell research.
With a back-illuminated CCD (≥90% quantum efficiency) and cooling capacity up to -90°C, MOIS ensures exceptional sensitivity for low-light applications. The fluorescence module features up to 26 narrowband filters and advanced spectral unmixing algorithms, improving multi-color accuracy and quantification.
Supporting a range of imaging fields from 2.5 × 2.5 cm to 25 × 25 cm, the system adapts to localized or whole-body needs. Built-in correction technologies—including bias, flat-field, background suppression, and cosmic ray removal—ensure consistent, reproducible results, ideal for high-standard in vivo research workflows.
