Ganzfeld Description
The Ganzfeld VUS200 Visual Uniform Stimulator, developed by Labeotech, is an advanced system for providing precise, uniform light stimulation in visual electrophysiology experiments. It is primarily used to assess retinal function and visual responses in research and clinical settings. This makes it a reliable tool for studying visual disorders and neurophysiological processes.
The VUS200 features a spherical dome, called the “Ganzfeld,” which ensures uniform light distribution across the subject’s visual field. This even illumination is essential for avoiding shadows or variations in light intensity that could affect results. By providing consistent light stimuli, the system improves the accuracy and reproducibility of electrophysiological measurements, such as electroretinograms (ERG using our VF200) and visual evoked potentials (VEP).
A key feature of the VUS200 is its ability to deliver a wide range of light intensities and wavelengths. This flexibility makes it suitable for various experimental setups. It can simulate lighting conditions from dim scotopic (low-light) to bright photopic (daylight) environments. This allows researchers to study how the retina and visual pathways respond under different conditions. Additionally, the system offers customizable protocols, allowing precise control over stimulus parameters like frequency, duration, and intensity.
Overall, the Ganzfeld VUS200 is a powerful and versatile tool for visual electrophysiology. It provides researchers and clinicians with a reliable platform to explore and understand retinal and visual function with high precision and consistency.
