Summary
The In Vivo Imaging System LuminaXR performs dynamic and non-invasive x-ray imaging, bioluminescent imaging, and fluorescent imaging in mice and rats. It is a crucial technology for visualizing and quantifying biological processes in the living animal over time, and it has revolutionized development of RNA vaccines; novel forms of drug delivery; and monitoring disease progression in animal models.
