SPECTRUM 201

P/N: 125379
Spectrum Advanced Training - 3 day course
Note: Advantages of in-house.  Direct exposure to IVIS team. Physicists, biologists, etc.  Much more time for hands-on instruction as opposed to on-site training.
 
  Day 1 Combination of basic and biology
    1.5 hour presentation in the morning covering system and bioluminescence basics
      Science of In Vivo Imaging – Tissue absorption, scattering, diffusion
      IVIS Hardware Overview
      Living Image Software Overview – Calibrated unit, important features of software
      Fluorescence System – Epi-illumination, autofluorescence
    Short break for coffee
    1.5 hour presentation covering kinetic imaging biology basics
      General bioluminescent and fluorescent imaging considerations
      Luciferin clearance kinetics
      Techniques of luciferin substrate injection
      Variables...
      Improving fluorescence detection
    Break for lunch
    2 hours Hands on exercise with phantom mice covering basic topics
    Break for coffee
    2 hours Hands on exercise with continuation of basic topics with real mice
       
  Day 2
    2.5 hour presentation covering Advanced Concepts
      3D Bioluminescence reconstructions
      Epi versus trans illumination
      Spectral unmixing
      3D Fluorescence reconstructions
    Break for lunch
    3-4 hour hands on with phantoms utilizing the concepts
       
Day 3 Continuation of Day 2 except with real animal models
    Short talk covering "real-mouse" examples of spectral unmixing, trans, 3D
    Head to the lab to work with real mouse examples for spectral unmixing and 3D
    Lunch
    Continuation of "real-mouse" studies
    Q & A and hands-on
