Wireless Optogenetic Stimulator
Description
Overview
Optogenetics, which fuses genetic engineering with light to control the activity of specific neurons, is a pivotal approach in advancing treatments for various neurological conditions.
The Teleopto wireless optogenetic stimulator is an advanced setup that includes a wireless optical fiber integrated with a high-precision LED light source, a remote controller, a compact receiver, and complementary accessories.
This setup features an optical fiber that integrates a high-brightness LED light source, delivering an output power in the milliwatt range. The precision of this technology ensures a consistent and accurate light source. The choice of optical fibers is tailored to the specific color of light needed for the experiment.
By offering wireless functionality, the Teleopto stimulator transcends the restrictions of traditional wired setups, freeing animals from the limitations of tethered connections. This freedom of movement facilitates a more natural behavior, which is crucial for collecting reliable and precise experimental data.
Features
Laboratory animals are free to move without restraints
Operated by infrared remote control
Suitable for rats and mice
The receiver is tiny and lightweight
Strong compatibility
The light source has high precision and stability
