Wide-field cortical imaging
mini-mScope
Objective Biotechnology’s mini-mScope enables whole brain imaging in freely behaving rodents:
Whole dorsal cortex mesoscale imaging
8 x 10 mm field of view
17-35 μm imaging resolution
High sensitivity CMOS sensor
Weight < 4g
Magnetic clamping for instantaneous stress-free docking
Robust motion free imaging in a wide range of behaviors
mini-mScope in action
Neural activity
Open-field behavior of mouse bearing mini-mScope
