Hint: It Starts with the Animal Angle During our hands-on training, we review animal positioning until every user is completely comfortable. But like most other lab equipment task, it does take some practice. Aligning the animal just right can be the difference between a great and a good fundus image. We’ve put together a

Developing a unique, novel dry AMD model with the Phoenix MICRON® laser injector
The most common cause of blindness in developed societies, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) robs the victim of the crucially important focused macular vision. While still devastating, wet AMD has a robust mouse model and the treatment option of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) subretinal injections. The Phoenix MICRON® laser allows precise delivery of 532 nm

Phoenix MICRON® CNV System used to test a novel treatment for age-related macular degeneration
In their paper, “Suppression of Choroidal Neovascularization by AAV-Based Dual-Acting Antiangiogenic Gene Therapy,” Askou et al develop an adeno-associated virus (AAV) treatment for age-related macular degeneration. Beautiful fluorescent fundoscopy performed with the Phoenix MICRON® validated the success of the subretinal AAV injection, while precise choroidal neovascularization (CNV) induced by Phoenix laser burns confirmed that the
