IVIS

Spectrum Hardware Manual

Emission & Excitation
Filter Wheels

There are two 11-position filter wheels. Filter settings are selected by software

control. For more details on how to access the filter wheels and change filters,

see

page 53

For fluorescence studies, the IVIS

Spectrum Imaging System can illuminate a

specimen from the top of the imaging chamber or from the bottom of the stage.

A 12-position excitation filter wheel module is located in the back of the

instrument (not accessible to users). If the filters must be changed or the module

requires service, contact IVIS Imaging Systems Technology Support.
For more details on fluorescence imaging, see

page 41

6.5 Specimen Warming System

The temperature-controlled imaging platform keeps specimens warm during

imaging. The temperature is controlled by the software, and is only enabled

when the instrument is initialized from Living Image

software. The default

temperature upon initializing the instrument is 37

The imaging platform does not have active cooling. Allowing the platform to

cool from 37

C to ambient temperature may require up to 20 minutes.
