IR Elevated Zero-Maze for Mice

Product Code:40163-IR

The Elevated Zero-Maze for mouse IR version, is an alternative model to the Elevated ZERO Maze (EZM) for mouse.
It's completely built using a special plastic IR transparent material, legs including.
Using a bottom IR illumination (the Ugo Basile LUX 100) and an IR video camera for video tracking, the set-up, gives You the possibility to perform EZM test in darkness with a perfect hight contrast between animal and maze, regardless the animal color.
The maze has the exact shape of the traditional metal built EZM
Take a look of the pictures to appreciate the high level of contrast while the animal is inside or outside the maze walls, this gives your a very precise video tracking with any video tracking software you use.
