An article of manufacture provides a veterinary procedure wet tabletop extension according to the present invention. The tabletop extension includes an examination table having a solid top surface, a bottom surface, and an outer end extending beyond an end of a veterinary tub table when installed, a drain opening about an outer end of the examination table solid top surface, a shallow basin coupled to the bottom surface of the solid examination table beneath the drain opening, a grate filling the drain opening while permitting fluids to drain into the shallow basin, and a drain line coupled to the shallow basin for providing a drainage path to the veterinary tub table.

A system including: a table assembly for supporting a subject in one or more examination positions; a table support assembly for supporting the table assembly, wherein the table support assembly includes: one or more moving mechanisms controlled to move the table assembly relative to a reference point along one or more axes, and to rotate the table assembly around the one or more axes; and a probe support assembly comprising: a grip for holding a probe; and an arrangement of a plurality of arms and joints controlled to movably support the probe that is held by the grip, wherein the probe support assembly is removably arranged at a predetermined position and orientation relative to the table support assembly to permit movement of the table support assembly and the probe support assembly for reproduction of a position and orientation of the probe relative to the subject supported by the table assembly.

Disclosed are instruments and methods for acquiring co-registered orthogonal fluorescence and photoacoustic volumetric projections of an interrogated object. In an embodiment, an instrument includes a rotary mechanism configured to rotate an interrogated object relative to an array of photoacoustic transducers and an optical detector. An optical excitation unit is configured to irradiate the interrogated object with pulses of light, inducing both fluorescence and photoacoustic responses inside the interrogated object at each of a plurality of rotational positions. The array of photoacoustic transducers includes unfocused elements arranged in a pattern along an axis of rotation, the elements configured to detect photoacoustic signals generated inside the volume of the interrogated object. The optical detector is arranged opposite to the array of photoacoustic transducers with respect to the axis of rotation and is configured to register sources of fluorescence excited inside the interrogated object. Each of the optical excitation axes form with each of the optical detection axes, and with each of the photoacoustic detection axes, angles that are between 60° and 90° so as to enable acquisition of co-registered orthogonal fluorescence and photoacoustic volumetric projections of the interrogated object.

Provided is an experimental animal restrainer applicable to various drug administration methods, as an experimental animal restrainer that can be used for intrathecal administration, intravenous administration and intratracheal administration only by replacing some components. There is an advantage of being used to administer drug substances to experimental animals by various methods only through the experimental animal restrainer even without using the experimental animal restrainer applicable only to each administration method.
