The MiniLFOV joins the successful series of miniscopes from UCLA. This miniscope has a very large field of view but is also heavy. Therefore, it is best suited for head-fixed mice or rodents larger than mice, or for non-human primates. It records from over 1000 neurons simultaneously in hippocampal CA1 layer while animals move freely. Under head fixed conditions the MiniLFOV can pick up signals from around 2000 neurons in the dorsal cortex through a cranial window. For imaging with the MiniLFOV you need a Data Acquisition Controller connected via USB 3.0 to a computer with the UCLA miniscope data acquisition software installed.
The lead-time for fulfillment is 2 weeks from the date of ordering.
