The hand-held FIVE2 (ViewnVivo) system is the latest generation of miniaturised confocal endomicroscopes. The FIVE2 (ViewnVivo) uses proprietary technology covered by multiple patents, to deliver real-time, cellular level in vivo imaging in living tissue.
OptiScan specialises in Fluorescence In Vivo Endomicroscopy (FIVE). The flexible hand-held probe of the FIVE2 (ViewnVivo) enables you to push the boundaries of your research with maximum flexibility, viewing image tissue at any angle in 3D with sub-micron resolution.
The electronics and optics for the system are contained within a single compact box.
Light flexible umbilical for benchtop and stage-mounted applications. Robust chemical resistant umbilical for harsh environments.
A choice of probes to meet different application requirements.
Small probes can be mounted in the high precision 3 axis micro positioner mounted to an articulated holding arm for maximum flexibility and accuracy in positioning your probe.
Provides hands free control of imaging depth and image capture.
Simple one-handed attachment and detachment of probes.
Compared to the previous model, the FIVE2 gives you greater flexibility, increased control and enhanced optimal imaging.
