Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser lead the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Trondheim, Norway. In 2014 they received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Weijian Zong is a researcher at the Kavli Institute for Systems neuroscience where his main research interests are bio-imaging, neuroscience, neuronal computation.


The Mini2P is a cutting-edge 2-photon miniscope designed for advanced large-scale calcium imaging in freely moving mice. This compact yet powerful device allows for stable, simultaneous recordings of several hundred cells across multiple planes, capturing densely active regions with exceptional clarity. Ideal for a wide range of behavioral tasks, the Mini2P ensures precise imaging without disrupting the animal's natural behavior, making it an invaluable tool for neuroscience research.

EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES

The Mini2P Adapter is a crucial component for securely mounting the Mini2P Scope body or Mini2P dummy to the baseplate. Precision-machined from lightweight high-precision plastic, these adapters make it easy to switch between the Mini2P scope and dummy with minimal effort. The bridle joint ensures precise re-attachment of the Mini2P scope, keeping it perfectly centered in the adapter every time.

LABmaker offers two adapter height variants to suit diverse experimental needs:

  • Mini2P Adapter t1 – 6 mm:
    This original design follows the default (centered) stitching position as described by Zong et al. It is the standard choice for consistent and reliable Mini2P setups.
  • Mini2P Adapter t1 – 9 mm:
    Developed in response to user feedback, this taller variant reduces the required amount of dental cement during fixation. This not only simplifies the mounting process but also contributes to improved animal welfare.

KEY FEATURES

  • Guaranteed compatibility with Mini2P scope, dummy, and baseplate from LABmaker
  • Made from lightweight high-precision plastic
  • Easy fixation of Mini2P scope or dummy with 2 screws

    CONTENTS 

    • 5x Adapters (centered position, default)
    • 2x Set screws per adapter
