Mini2P - Coupling Box v1
Founding developers Edvard Moser, May-Britt Moser, and Weijian Zong
Sold Out $8,900.00 USD
The Mini2P is a 2-photon miniscope for large-scale calcium imaging in freely moving mice. It enables stable simultaneous recordings of over a thousand cells across multiple planes of densely active cortical regions during a wide range of behavioral tasks without affecting the animal's behavior.
EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES
The Coupling Box is the component between the laser and the excitation fiber going to the Mini2P miniscope. It pre-chirps the laser pulses and facilitates effective coupling into the excitation fiber. The Coupling Box accepts the free-air laser beam and outputs the laser via an SM05 thread. The fiber-bound coupling holder and coupling protector attach easily to the Coupling Box. This Coupling Box is compatible with all related Mini2P parts based on the original design.
KEY FEATURES
- The box comes tested and pre-aligned (~50% coupling efficiency)
- Includes the new higher-dispersion Dielectric prism
- Includes 3 pre-chirping rods
- Includes a ½ wave plate for polarization adjustments
- 2 prisms can be adjusted in 2-axis to finely tune the laser path
CONTENTS
