nVista HD
Stream live HD video of large-scale neural activity in naturally-behaving mice
Inscopix has created the first-ever scalable, user-friendly and fully end-to-end solution for high-speed, cellular-level in vivo brain imaging in a freely behaving mouse. Based on Inscopix’s core miniature, integrated fluorescence microscope technology, the nVista HD system enables researchers to observe calcium dynamics in large numbers of individual neurons, and in many behaving mice in parallel.
