FEATURES
It is able to measure behavior of any small animal cultured in microplates

- Measurement time can be set up to 32000 minutes
- CSV file export and data analysis on original software
- Calcuration of average acticity, total activity, standard error and Map plot
The method is based on subjecting the organisms to an array of thousands of microbeams of light that are very close to each other. In this way, not only the movement of animals can be detected but also their position in the culture medium.
The innovation rely in applying a phenomenon called optical interferometry, which enables us to acquire shadows of small organisms without the need for microscopes or high resolution captures. It allows real-time processing.
