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.
居住笼中自发的运动行为可以用红外光束进行测量。另外可选用附在笼盖上的InfraMot红外热传感器进行活动监测。使用光束框架可以测定动物多个运动行为的参数。光束遮挡会被分为走动和细微动作；可以定义一个不应期，以记录避免刮擦或甩尾。用户可以笼子一个中心和一个四周区域，相对于一个旷场；数据因此而显示
• Infrared light-beam frames surrounding the home cage measure activity in three dimensions （X-Y-Z axis） 
  红外光束框架在三个维度上（XYZ轴）环绕居住笼
• Different frame sizes and spatial resolutions, high timing resolution  
  不同的框架尺寸和空间分辨率，高时间分辨率
• Universal use of one frame size for mice and rats in combination 
  通用的框架尺寸，适合大鼠和小鼠
• No calibration is necessary when using the light-beam frames  
  使用光束框架无需校准
• The sensor status is changed by the movement of the animal. Permanently interrupted light beams are ignored  
  传感器的状态被动物的移动改变。*性的光束遮挡会被忽略
• 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开放的居住笼以及与量热的CaloCage或代谢的PhenoCage一起使用
