"With the Cellvizio system, we can offer researchers more in vivo imaging platforms: our existing family of high frequency ultrasound and now the Cellvizio optical microscopy" said Tom Little, CEO of VisualSonics. "The ability to see and monitor an animal's internal physiological processes at the cellular level helps researchers gain new understanding of the root causes of disease and disorders. Cellvizio LAB's real-time, microscopic, imaging of living cells truly compliments our flagship Vevo(R) high-resolution, ultrasound-based imaging platform. The Vevo(R) can also provide accurate in vivo image guidance of the Cellvizio LAB optical miniprobes making this combination unique to explore life sciences at multiple scales.
