Why should I use DanioVision?
Whether you are studying motor control, neural development or
epileptic behavior, zebrafish larvae studies require a system that is fitted to their needs.
This means a high throughput, accurate, easy to use device.
DanioVision has all these requirements in one package. Furthermore, the build in tracker gives
you powerful analysis and data segmentation. Keep reading to learn more about the main reasons
why DanioVision works for your research.
Precise and reliable data collection
Say goodbye to inconsistent lighting that leads to unreliable data.
DanioVision ensures you get the most accurate data
from your experiments. It provides room for standard ANSI and SBS compliant multi-well plates (6,
12, 24, 48, or 96 well plates).
You can also use petri dishes and other small containers. With its backlit plate holder, even
lighting is guaranteed across all wells, eliminating contrast issues
that could distort your measurements.
The Observation Chamber shuts out external light, and
the anti-vibration feet absorb shocks to keep the internal environment stable.
Plus, its distortion-free optical design gives you clear, straight views into every well, so you can
trust the
accuracy of every image you capture.
Optimized for fast, high-quality imaging
DanioVision is a video based tracking system. With DanioVision's high-resolution camera you can effortlessly track fast-moving subjects
like zebrafish larvae. Designed to capture
rapid movements without blurring,
it ensures you record even the quickest bursts of activity in crystal-clear detail.
Observation Chamber has a Fresnel lens,
allowing for a sturdy and robust system with a perfectly straight view into each well. No more
worrying about missing important data due to poor video quality. This means that you can be sure that every well is evenly tracked and that your analysis is clean.
Seamless, long-term recording
DanioVision gives you a controlled environment for zebrafish larvae studies. The closed observation chamber blocks external light and dampens vibrations, while the backlit plate ensures even illumination and consistent positioning across the entire well plate.
- Consistent observation chamber keeps external light and shocks out, so your animals are tested under the same conditions every time.
- Non-invasive IR illumination and camera are invisible to zebrafish, allowing you to track natural behavior even in dark or low-light conditions.
- Integrated control and tracking with EthoVision XT lets you program light stimuli and automatically quantify activity in every well.
With the Temperature Control Unit, you can keep the water in the basin at a precisely controlled temperature throughout your experiment. This minimizes variability between wells, plates, and experiment days, making your long-term studies more consistent and reliable.
All-in-one solution, trusted by experts
While DanioVision is perfect for zebrafish larvae studies, it’s also
versatile enough for other small organisms like
insects or aquatic invertebrates. Whatever you’re studying, DanioVision provides the flexibility to
track them with precision.
DanioVision and
EthoVision XT are trusted by over 2,500 labs globally, with thousands of
publications validating their use. Join a network of researchers who rely on this system for
accurate, reliable data in their most critical experiments.
