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 control box acts in between the vDAQ unit connected to the PC and the 6-wire cable to the MINI2P microscope body. It connects with 8 BNC to the vDAQ breadboard to receive the control signals from ScanImage software for the MEMS mirror and the signals from the µTLens driver. The MEMS mirror driver inside the control box conditions the signals to actuate the mirror. The D-SUB connector of the control box accepts the lightweight 2-meter long 6-wire cable to the MINI2P.
