Description
The system is based on the detection of the movement
of worms through the infrared light scattering
effect. This system has a detection area composed of
more than 20,000 infrared microbeams, each of 100 μm
in width. This array of beams illuminates the
microplate from the bottom, while a 6-camera video
optical system (1M-pixel each) captures the light
beams that pass through the sample. The software
processes the analog signal, and the detection
algorithm acquires the signal from each microbeam
and processes it mathematically to detect the light
scattering caused by the animals� movement. When the
system detects movement, the activity counter is
incremented. The total calculated activity will be
the integration of activity events in a time frame
defined by the user.

Product applications: Measure multiple disease
models, and conduct microbiota experiments.
