Description
The system’s functionality is based on the
acquisition of a sequence of infrared imaging
pictures (1 per second) and subsequent real-time
processing. Depending on the configuration, it has
the ability to work in two different modes: Infrared
images, plate upside down: This arrangement allows
for tracking the path of multiple adult C. elegans
(or worms of similar size) using NGM-type solid
medium cultures. The method is based on an optical
phenomenon of Silhouette Amplification by Infrared
Refraction. Infrared light waves refract at the
worm-agar interface, generating an amplified image
that is captured by a sensitive optical/HD camera
system. The digital processing of the image is
carried out using software specially designed for
real-time data acquisition. Infrared microbeam grid,
with the plate face-up: This mode allows for the
quantification of the behavior of multiple organisms
larger than 0.1 mm using solid, liquid, or air
cultures. It also enables the definition of the
activity area on the plate for use in chemotaxis
experiments. This patented method is based on
detecting movement through the scattering of light
caused by a grid of infrared microbeams.
Product applications: Multi-worm path tracking,
animal population movement. C.elegans mutants
characterization, animal models of diseases, health
span and lifespan assays in NGM.
