The moorFLPI-2 blood flow imager uses the laser speckle contrast technique to deliver real-time, high-resolution blood flow images, providing outstanding performance in a wide range of pre-clinical and clinical research applications. Optical zoom means you can assess small areas right up to a full size adult hand with a single imager.

Capture every detail with a new unique laser/ single USB camera package. The key specs that matter: pixel resolution of just 3.9 microns (6.6Mpixels/cm2), image sizes ranging from just 6mm x 8mm right up to 225mm x 300mm, using a unique 10x optical zoom function all at up to 100 frames per second…

moorFLPI2 features an ergonomically designed scan head and highly refined software package which promotes a smooth workflow and enables the high through-put required to scan cohorts quickly and accurately. Advanced analysis functions help you to draw sound conclusions from your blood flow images. For full details of the software please click here.

moorFLPI-2 highlights include;

  • Image any exposed tissue (skin or surgically exposed tissues) and species.
  • Easy to use, single USB connection, flexible and simple setup helps get you up and running quickly.
  • Three measurement modes with flexible sampling rates (spatial, temporal and sliding window algorithms) to optimise your data for frame rate, spatial resolution and file size.
  • Best spatial resolution of 3.9 microns per pixel (6.6Mpixels/cm2).
  • Real-time video frames rates – up to 100 frames per second at full field (no windowing).
  • Image areas range from 6mm x 8mm to 225mm x 300mm with a unique, motorised 10x optical zoom and auto focus.
  • Colour photo and blood flow images provided by a unique single USB3 camera, RGB illumination system. Blood flow and photo images precisely matched.

This section lists the more common questions our customers have with regards to the moorFLPI-2. If you have a question you would like answered that does not appear below then please email us. We are happy to help!


Q. How is the moorFLPI-2 connected to the PC?
A. The moorFLPI-2 is connected to the PC via one USB 3 port.

Q. What is the penetration depth of moorFLPI-2?
A. The penetration depth will depend on the optical properties of the tissue sampled as in conventional laser Doppler imaging; however, the signal processed which results in the speckle contrast image is biased towards light coming from the more superficial layers of the tissue. The effective penetration depth will be less than a conventional laser Doppler imager so will focus far more on the nutritive layers and will be less influenced by flow from deeper and larger vessels.

Q. What is the largest area you can image with moorFLPI-2?
A. The image area is dependent on the optical zoom used and the distance from the scan head to the tissue. This allows full flexibility to study areas from 5.6mm x 7.5mm up to 225mm x 300mm (continuously variable with zoom lens).

Q. What is the spatial resolution of the moorFLPI-2?
A. The moorFLPI-2 has a spatial resolution of 3.9 microns per pixel (6.6Mpixels/cm2)

Q. How can I assess dynamic responses with moorFLPI-2?
A. The moorFLPI-2 is used in the same way as a conventional laser Doppler imager - changes from a baseline are commonly assessed. The only difference is in the image acquisition rate with moorFLPI-2 providing 100 images per second opening up many new and exciting research opportunities.

Q. Can I image blood vessels with moorFLPI-2?
A. Yes, if the blood vessels lie in the surface of the tissue being imaged and if the tissue covering the vessels is effectively transparent to the laser light. This makes the technique ideally suited to cerebral imaging and general open surgery

Q. How often do I need to calibrate the system?
A. The moorFLPI-2 is factory calibrated. The user can check zeroing and calibration as frequently as required; we recommend to check calibration monthly.

Q. Can I analyse the data from moorFLPI-2?
A. Images can be analysed in much the same way as a conventional laser Doppler images and sequences allowing comparisons of flow within the same image or in the same subject over time. The video capability also allows the user to define up to 16 regions of interest (that can be varied in size, shape and position) and plot flow in real time from those regions - akin to a 16 channel laser Doppler monitor. Frame grabbing allows the user to select images from the video at flexible or pre defined intervals to build a sequence for analysis.
