ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for collecting light emitted from an animal, where a luminescent reporter has been injected into the animal is disclosed. The apparatus includes a chamber for receiving the animal, wherein the chamber is light tight preventing a substantial portion of light emitted from the animal from escaping the chamber when the chamber is closed and the animal is inside the chamber and a light monitoring device for collecting light from different portions of the animal when the animal is inside the closed chamber. The light monitoring device is arranged to collect light over substantially the entire surface area of the body and head of the animal, and the light monitoring device generates a quantified value based on the light collected from the animal. The animal does not have to be under anesthesia.
