Pearlcam -
The software quantifies the signal intensity, allowing researchers to say exactly how much of a drug reached the target compared to healthy tissue. π Why It Matters
Because the imaging is non-invasive, researchers can scan the same animal over days or weeks. This reduces the number of animals needed for a study and provides a more accurate timeline of how a tumor grows or shrinks in response to treatment. π Features and Workflow PearlCAM
The subject is placed in the imaging chamber. PearlCAM software captures the NIR signal and overlays it on a standard grayscale "white light" image for anatomical context. π Features and Workflow The subject is placed
Capabilities typically include 700 nm and 800 nm channels, allowing researchers to track two different biological markers simultaneously. π Key Applications in Research π Key Applications in Research PearlCAM is the
PearlCAM is the proprietary interface used to capture and analyze high-resolution images in the spectrum. Unlike visible light, NIR light can penetrate several centimeters into biological tissue, allowing for:
Biological tissues naturally glow under certain light; the NIR range used by PearlCAM minimizes this "noise," resulting in much clearer images.
