LUX Infrared Illuminator
Manufacturer: Ugobasile
Product code: LUX 70/LUX 100/LUX 8060/LUX 70X4
The LUX Infrared (IR) illuminator allows for illumination from below of all the Ugo Basile IR mazes, which are made of an IR translucent plastic. This has the double advantage of: making experiments in the darkness easy and enhancing the contrast for better detection, no matter the animal color
The lux is available in 3 sizes, it guarantees a uniform illumination and incorporates IR light intensity knob. These sizes allow all Ugo Basile mazes to be positioned over the LUX and run extremely high-contrast video-tracking experiments.

LUX Infrared Illuminator
Background
Mice and rats do act differently in dim light vs complete darkness (as one can do with back-lit IR light) and this is an interesting area of research
Video-tracking may struggle when the level of contrast between the animal and the background is very low and in addition, the lab light may influence experiments. Backlighting solves both problems.
Designed for best Video-tracking performance and Dark Experiments
- The Ugo Basile LUX system is a research-grade device specifically designed to work with Ugo Basile IR mazes and provide the best contrast with any video-tracking software
- The intensity of the IR light is adjustable and offers a homogeneous illumination of all the maze area, with no shadows or sources of inaccuracy
- No ambient light is needed for experiments in complete darkness
