ActiMot2 System

Spontaneous locomotor activity in the home cage can be measured using infrared light-beam. Alternatively, the InfraMot infrared heat sensor attached to the cage lid can be used for activity monitoring. With the light-beam frames various parameters of the locomotor activity of the animals are determined. Beam breaks are divided into ambulatory and fine movements; a refractory period can be defined to avoid scratching or tail flipping being counted. The user can specify a center and a peripheral cage area comparable to an open field; data are displayed accordingly.
居住籠中自發(fā)的運(yùn)動(dòng)行為可以用紅外光束進(jìn)行測(cè)量。另外可選用附在籠蓋上的InfraMot紅外熱傳感器進(jìn)行活動(dòng)監(jiān)測(cè),。使用光束框架可以測(cè)定動(dòng)物多個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)行為的參數(shù),。光束遮擋會(huì)被分為走動(dòng)和細(xì)微動(dòng)作,；可以定義一個(gè)不應(yīng)期，以記錄避免刮擦或甩尾,。用戶可以籠子一個(gè)中心和一個(gè)四周區(qū)域,，相對(duì)于一個(gè)曠場(chǎng)；數(shù)據(jù)因此而顯示
• Infrared light-beam frames surrounding the home cage measure activity in three dimensions （X-Y-Z axis） 
  紅外光束框架在三個(gè)維度上（XYZ軸）環(huán)繞居住籠
• Different frame sizes and spatial resolutions, high timing resolution  
  不同的框架尺寸和空間分辨率,，高時(shí)間分辨率
• Universal use of one frame size for mice and rats in combination 
  通用的框架尺寸,，適合大鼠和小鼠
• No calibration is necessary when using the light-beam frames  
  使用光束框架無(wú)需校準(zhǔn)
• The sensor status is changed by the movement of the animal. Permanently interrupted light beams are ignored  
  傳感器的狀態(tài)被動(dòng)物的移動(dòng)改變。*性的光束遮擋會(huì)被忽略
• Light-beam frames can be used alternatively with all open home cages and with calorimetry CaloCages or Metabolic Cages.   

光束框架可以用于所有開(kāi)放的居住籠以及與量熱的CaloCage或代謝的PhenoCage一起使用
