Purpose: To provide details of the dual-focal 3D tracking and pixel intensity calibration (DuFT) system used to record gene expression in targeted areas on the skin of freely moving mice.
Methods: Our 3D tracking technique is based on the real-time tumor tracking (RTRT) system used for tracking the motion of tumor surrogate gold markers during radiation treatment.
Results: Our system can automatically record circadian rhythms in clock genes in multiple tissues in unrestrained mice.
Conclusion: Details of the 3D perspective transformation matrix calculation and calibration of pixel value normalization tables are described in this paper.
