규격 및 특징

1. Main body 1) Complete System (1) High resolution video camera with lens - 640X480 usb based - camera is fixed on the cover
(2) Software -The Software gives the weight distribution of the animal per limb with additional ratio computations and filtering options.
(3) electronic interface and a calibration setup - Parameters measured ？ Weight for each paw (g and % total animal weight) ？ Weight for grouped front and rear paws (g and %total animal weight) ？ Left/Right and Front/Rear weight ratio ？ Surface for each paw (mm²) ？ Surface for grouped front and rear paws (mm²) ？ Variability (standart deviation/mean) for each parameter ？ Parameters are given for each posture and as a mean for the whole experiment ？ Duration of different postures (4 paws rearing…) over the whole experiment (s) ？ Total time spent on each paw over the whole experiment (s) ？ Duration of different postures(4 paws rearing...) over the whole experiment(s) ？ Total time spent on each paw over the whole experiment(s) (4) Key features Advantages of dynamic weight bearing system over static imcapacitance systems ？ Operator-independent ？ Time-saving ？ Convenient for manipulating large amounts of rodents ？ No stress induced on the animal (rat or mouse) 2. Additional sensor for Mice 1) mice cage & sensor 3. Additional sensor for Rats 1) Rat cage & sensor
