Photon etc’s technology and applications in action: global hyperspectral imaging, in vivo fluorescence imaging, Bragg tunable filters.
IR VIVO Guided Tour
IR VIVO is an infrared multispectral imager for small animal studies. This system benefits from reduced light scattering, absorption and auto-fluorescence by using a detection system in the near and short-wave infrared. Visualize your biomarkers in vivo and in real-time with optimized contrast resolution and sensitivity. IR VIVO takes advantage of the most recent developments in SWIR imaging with an ultra-low-noise InGaAs camera (Alizé 1.7 or ZephIR 1.7), novel homogeneous illumination and powerful analytical software to provide an unprecedented combination of fast, high resolution and deep imaging.
When Art, Science and Technology Work Hand in Hand
Photon etc. presents this short film shot in collaboration with Dr. Daniel Heller, researcher at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Joseph Cohen, multidisciplinary artist. This short video documents how three experts in their respective fields benefit from and are enhanced by their mutual collaboration. Joseph creates new paint mixtures and textures using carbon nanotubes (CNT). Dr. Heller develops infrared probes and biomarkers using CNT’s. Sébastien (CEO at Photon etc.) develops science grade infrared cameras that can detect fluorescent CNT’s excited by specific wavelengths.
Hyperspectral Characterization of Next-Generation Solar Cells and LEDs
This video shows how spectrally and spatially resolved PL and EL maps can help identify defects, losses, and uniformity in advanced materials. A hyperspectral photoluminescence demonstration is performed on large grain perovskite crystals.
In Vivo NIR-II Imaging: Contact-Free Monitoring Heartbeat & Respiratory Rate
High-speed imaging made available by the fast frame rates of InGaAs cameras allows for contact-free cardiography and respiratory rate measurements in both anesthetized and awake animals. Such contact-free measurements of awake mice obtained without the use of any restraining device could drastically change studies procedures in labs.
Real-Time Biodistribution and Pharmacokinetics of ICG in a Mouse Using NIR-II Fluorescence
Video of IR VIVO imaging experiment showing the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of ICG in real time. IR VIVO is able to visualize NIR probes at high resolutions. From one single injection, it was possible to obtain measurements of heartbeats, respiration and intestinal contraction rates.
