-
The gross weight of the optical probe is around 2.2 g
-
The resoluton is around 850 nm, which is good enough for observing sub-cellular structures like dendritic spines
-
920 nm femtosecond laser pulses is efficiently transmitted with a specially customized optical fiber for acquiring GCaMP and GFP signals
-
The optical probe can be installed and detachable easily, which reduces the risk of entanglement of the connecting bundles as the animal moves around
-
Can be integrated with a removable fast z-scanning module to achieved volumetric imaging for the neuronal network study
-
Can be integrated with red and green channel modules for two-channel imaging
-
Small in overall size, light in gross weight, can be carried on the head of the small animals for imaging under freely moving conditions
