Pearlcam -
A fluorescent probe (like IRDye®) is injected into the subject.
💡 Many researchers prefer the Pearl system because it uses a One-Touch imaging approach—eliminating the need for complex camera adjustments and making the technology accessible even to those without a background in physics. PearlCAM
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: A fluorescent probe (like IRDye®) is injected into
Researchers use PearlCAM to test new "smart" dyes that attach specifically to cancer cells. By viewing the animal through the Pearl system, surgeons can practice identifying tumor margins that would be invisible to the naked eye. Washington University has utilized this for foundations in translational imaging. 2. Drug Delivery Tracking Unlike visible light, NIR light can penetrate several
The workflow for a research team using PearlCAM typically follows three stages:
Capabilities typically include 700 nm and 800 nm channels, allowing researchers to track two different biological markers simultaneously. 📈 Key Applications in Research
