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.
居住籠中自發的運動行為可以用紅外光束進行測量。另外可選用附在籠蓋上的InfraMot紅外熱傳感器進行活動監測。使用光束框架可以測定動物多個運動行為的參數。光束遮擋會被分為走動和細微動作；可以定義一個不應期，以記錄避免刮擦或甩尾。用戶可以籠子一個中心和一個四周區域，相對于一個曠場；數據因此而顯示
• 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維度上（XYZ軸）環繞居住籠
• 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  
  使用光束框架無需校準
• The sensor status is changed by the movement of the animal. Permanently interrupted light beams are ignored  
  傳感器的狀態被動物的移動改變。*性的光束遮擋會被忽略
• 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放的居住籠以及與量熱的CaloCage或代謝的PhenoCage一起使用
