From: 3D-printed lightweight dorsal skin fold chambers from PEEK reduce chamber-related animal distress

Figure 1

Application and limitations of the dorsal skinfold chamber. The model enables continuous observation of microvascular parameters by intravital microscopy. The major limitations are animal distress and restriction to short-term experiments. To improve animal welfare and extend the observation time, a lightweight, 3D-printable PEEK chamber was developed.
