Intracellular oxygenation is an important parameter for numerous biological studies. While there are a variety of methods available for acquiring in vivo measurements of oxygenation in animal models, most are dependent on indirect oxygen measurements, restraints, or anesthetization. A portable microscope system using a Raspberry Pi computer and Pi Camera was developed for attaching to murine dorsal window chambers. Dual-emissive boron nanoparticles were used as an oxygen-sensing probe while mice were imaged in awake and anesthetized states. The portable microscope system avoids altered in vivo measurements due to anesthesia or restraints while enabling increased continual acquisition durations.
