| Description | The NightOWL II LB 983 In Vivo Imaging System provides a modular, easy to use optical imaging system, delivering high sensitivity and resolution. With various light-sources and light-tight ports to insert cables, fibre optics or manipulators, it provides the flexibility you need for any in vivo The NightOWL II LB 983 In Vivo Imaging System provides a modular, easy to use optical imaging system, delivering high sensitivity and resolution. With various light-sources and light-tight ports to insert cables, fibre optics or manipulators, it provides the flexibility you need for any in vivo imaging application.
Features
- Ultrasensitive back-illuminated (backlit) CCD camera with high quantum efficiency over the entire visible to near-infrared spectrum for luminescence and fluorescence.
- Efficient cooling of the array (absolute -80 to -90°C depending on the room temperature) to ensure very low noise, so that long exposure times can be used to integrate the signal over time and detect even very weak light signals.
- Light-tight cabinet, preventing any interferences from ambient light.
- Motor-driven camera to achieve optimum resolution and focus of the sample.The camera can be moved from a height of 50 mm to 725 mm allowing focussing on every sample size up to 250 mm. A macro table is available for close-ups.
- Flange option that provides light-tight access to the inner part for tubing, cables or even fibre optics, e. g. for special illumination of plants. The flange can be customized for special purposes.
- Available accessories include various light-sources for different applications, gas anaesthesia unit, heating table to mantain optimum body temperature, and more.
- The user-friendly IndiGO™ software controls the instrument and makes image processing easy. It provides easy wavelength management and optional 21 CRF part 11 compliance, animal alignment and digital mouse atlas alignment option.

The NightSHADE evo uses an ultrasensitive back-illuminated (backlit) CCD camera with high quantum efficiency over the entire visible to near-infrared The NightSHADE evo LB 985N is a modular plant imaging system for monitoring luminescence and fluorescence in tissues, seedlings and whole plants. The NightSHADE evo uses an ultrasensitive back-illuminated (backlit) CCD camera with high quantum efficiency over the entire visible to near-infrared spectrum. Cooling to a delta of -100°C ensures the lowest background and highest sensitivity, even at long exposure times. In addition, the camera can be mounted either on top of the instrument to take images from above or laterally for side view images, enabling you to maintain seedlings upright in their natural vertical orientation.
Features:
- Temperature control – temperature-controlled base plate to keep the temperature stable at user defined settings between 15 and 30 °C.
- Daylight simulation – 2 LED panels with 4 different colours each. LEDs are individually tunable in intensity and duration to simulate daylight with both, spectral and intensity gradients.
- Humidity control – the system can be placed into any appropriate environmental chamber.
- Light-tight ports are available for the introduction of lightguides, cables or tubing, e.g. to water plants inside the chamber.
- Several sample tables are available: the turntable can be equipped with different sample holders, e.g. to analyse square Petri dishes in upright position for unattended processing of multiple samples. The anti-condensation table for up to 9 Petri dishes features temperature control in combination with a constant, circular air flow above the Petri dishes, preventing condensation in the lids.
The NightSHADE evo In Vivo Plant Imaging System is a very flexible instrument, and its range of applications is really broad. Some of the most popular ones are:
- Protein-Protein Interaction
- Circadian rhythms
- Stress monitoring
- Pathogen monitoring
- and more
