The Modular Optical Imaging System (OiS200) from LabeoTech is a cutting-edge platform designed to meet the diverse needs of researchers in the field of brain imaging. This versatile system supports a range of optical imaging techniques, including Widefield Intrinsic signal Optical Imaging, Fluorescence Imaging, and Speckle Imaging, making it an essential tool for modern neuroscience.
Optical imaging is a technique that uses light interactions to measure brain activity. Compared to other imaging methods, optical imaging provides high-resolution images both temporally and spatially with minimal invasiveness, making it ideal for an assortment of applications. By leveraging advanced optical imaging techniques, researchers can gain deeper insights into biological processes.
Optical imaging provides higher resolution images at a faster frame rate when compared to fMRI.
Optical imaging captures detailed images without invasive procedures, reducing discomfort. Also, this technique can be used for both acute and chronic experiments.
Optical imaging is usually faster and cheaper than other methods, as fMRI or ultrasounds. This allows for quicker data collection and lowers overall costs.
The OiS200 excels in optical imaging methods highly effective for observing brain activity in vivo. Whether working with awake or anesthetized mice, researchers can utilize intrinsic optical imaging and fluorescence imaging to capture detailed views of neural dynamics. The system’s speckle imaging capability further enhances its utility by allowing precise quantification of cerebral blood flow across surface vessels.
To push the boundaries of optical imaging, the OiS200 can be completed by an optional integrated optogenetic stimulation module. Researchers can choose between two configurations: a single point that can be moved across the brain or a full 8.5 mm x 8.5 mm spatially modulated pattern. Multiple wavelengths are available to stimulate different opsins, including ChR2 and Chrimson, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of experimental setups.
Designed with flexibility, the OiS200 is portable and easy to set up, making it ideal for various research environments. The optical imaging system offers multiple camera options and illumination solutions, all controlled via a user-friendly software interface. This ensures that researchers can tailor the system to their specific needs without compromising ease of use.
The OiS200 allows users to adjust imaging angles up to ±30º for better optical imaging. You can change the height of the system. You can also set up the lights in different ways for your experiments. Strong steel makes the imaging plate. This allows for magnetic accessories to be used for a secure and flexible setup.
LabeoTech developed a new microendoscope add-on working with the OiS200 platform.
This device can observe deep brain activity in awake, freely moving animals. This new tool improves optical imaging. It lets researchers study brain function in ways that were not possible before.
