In Vivo Micro-CT Scanner for Small Lab Animals LaTheta LCT-200 In Vivo Micro-CT Scanner for Small Lab Animals LaTheta LCT-200

LCT-200 is an X-ray CT scanner for experimental animals. The non-invasive measurement is economical in the way that it enables you to observe the same mouse or rat in long-term. By using the standard analysis software, quantitative analysis of RAW data can be performed for fat, bone, body mass etc.

¡¦ Ideal for morphological observation
¡¦ Respiratory and cardiac synchronized scanning
¡¦ Portable design with shielding box
