Applications

Applications Overview

Investigations of the microcirculation and it's diseases are of paramount importance in both clinical and research fields. The team here at Moor Instruments have a wealth of experience in the monitoring and imaging of the microcirculation - blood flow, temperature and tissue oxygen saturation. Listed below are many of the more common applications. These have been divided into the following tables:
