Announcing the new MILabs 3D/4D Optical Imaging & Micro-CT System now available at our LMC!
We are thrilled to announce that our core facility has added a new MILabs optical imaging system with integrated CT to our imaging portfolio.
This in vivo small animal imaging platform provides dual-modality imaging — combining high-resolution micro-CT with 3D optical imaging (fluorescence and bioluminescence), enabling precise anatomical localization of optical signals. This system is ideal for longitudinal in vivo studies, disease progression monitoring, and multimodal imaging workflows.
This system is now available for user training and studies. Please visit our Equipment page for more details or contact the core staff to discuss your imaging needs.
