Image acquisition is so simple, you can optionally have the Pearl Impulse acquire a new image any time the imaging drawer is closed with a single button press. Load a mouse on an imaging bed, close the drawer, and in 30 seconds a perfect image is displayed in Pearl Impulse Software.

• Image acquisition in less than 30 seconds promotes rapid screening and minimizes animal stress.
• Pearl Impulse Software simplifies operation by eliminating the need to choose filters, exposure settings, or imaging algorithms before imaging.
• A perfect image on the first attempt eliminates time wasted capturing multiple images to get an optimal exposure.
• A unique imaging bed design and imaging electronics make the Pearl Impulse Imager faster and more productive compared to other systems.
• Motorized imaging drawer slides out for easy positioning of the mouse. Detachable imaging bed speeds transport from induction chamber.
• Three channels per image acquisition: white light, 700 nm, and 800 nm.
• Two separate targets can be screened simultaneously.

Each laser module contains a 685 nm laser, a 785 nm laser, and an LED source that produces white light. Matched pairs of sources are sequentially turned on and off, and the CCD detector captures all three images in less than 30 seconds.
