The CX-IM is a multiple animal manifold for use in Optical Imaging systems. It incorporates all of the same core design and safety features found in the rest of the CX- series. Because of its small dimensions (19mm x 19mm x 159mm) the manifold occupies very little space and will fit into most optical imaging systems. Manufactured from durable, non-fluorescing materials the CX-IM will enable consistent imaging results with maximum operator safety.
