Leica Microsystems now offers Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), imaging systems which utilize optical interferometry, similar to holography, to produce images of internal tissue microstructures. This new and non-invasive tool can be applied to clinical ophthalmology and pre-clinical research.

Besides that, it uses low-power, near-infrared light to create cross-sectional views of the target structure. Thanks to these characteristics, the Optical Coherence Tomography imaging systems provide customers with non-contact real-time imaging for enhanced visualization, publishing, examination, and diagnosis.

Whether the aim is to improve productivity in translational research or reduce costs associated with pre-clinical discovery and development, the Bioptigen Envisu R-Class systems are designed to provide pre-clinical researchers with the best in high throughput, high resolution imaging systems. These systems are suitable for rapid screening and in-depth analysis with unparalleled image quality and maximum flexibility for wide dynamic range images of animal models including mice, rabbits, zebrafish and more.

Thanks to the system developed by Leica Microsystems, scientists can image any species they want with just one flexible OCT system, because the Envisu Image Guidance systems provide them flexibility by providing customized lenses to fit their needs and animal model. Moreover, the Optical Coherence Tomography imaging systems offer flexibility for multi-species translational research with precision posterior and anterior imaging bores for targeting small to large animals. In other words, the new tool known as Biotigen Envisu R-Class systems provide scientists a great technique to obtain high-volume, high-density and high-resolution images.
