Workflow Simplified with GRIN Lenses
The Inscopix miniscope platforms enable cellular resolution imaging of calcium dynamics in freely behaving animals. Key to enabling miniscope imaging is expression of a fluorescence indicator using a viral - mediated genetically encoded calcium indicator and optical access to deep brain regions through implantation of a Gradient Refractive Index (GRIN) lens.
Our advanced workflow solutions include fully integrated GRIN lenses with virus to simplify the workflow to single step or individually optimized viruses and lenses to accelerate your circuit neuroscience research.
