Quartet is an ultra-light flexible fiber bundle for central or peripheral microscopic imaging in vivo.
The Quartet system enables simultaneous calcium imaging of multiple brain regions in freely behaving animals facilitating greater functional insights.
- Image up to four brain or spinal cord fields of view (FOV) simultaneously within an imaging session
- Record single-cell resolution longitudinally over time, from hard-to-reach regions at an angle
- Explore unique neurobehavioral hypotheses in neonates and/or other non-rodent species in combination with other modalities (e.g. EEG, fMRI)
Special Multiscope Applications
Advanced integrated imaging applications for your neuroscience research
Special Multiscope Applications
Water Experiments
The multiscope design places the electronics away from the animal's head facilitating various water behavioral assays.

Lightweight
The four lightweight and flexible optical fiber bundles weigh less than 1.5 g in total, which minimizes interference with natural animal behaviors.
