IVIS
IVIS refers to the In Vivo Imaging System, a type of equipment used for non-invasive imaging of biological processes within living animals. These systems are crucial in biomedical research, enabling scientists to observe and quantify biological events such as tumor growth, gene expression, and drug distribution in real-time without harming the subjects. IVIS technology typically utilizes bioluminescence or fluorescence imaging, where specific molecules or cells are engineered to emit light, which is then detected and analyzed by the system.
The primary advantage of IVIS is its ability to provide longitudinal data, allowing researchers to track changes
