The Prizmatix Optogenetics-LED Starter Kit contains everything you need to deliver intense light into implanted fiberoptic cannula to activate or inhibit neurons in in-vivo optogenetics experiments with freely moving animals.

The kit includes a Prizmatix Optogenetics-LED light source (provides >440 mW/mm² light pulses, triggered by external TTL input), fiber optics and an extremely low friction Rotary Joint.

With a unique large LED bilateral experiments can be performed with a single light source. 

The Optogenetics-LED Starter Kit is available in:

• Ultraviolet: (~385nm)
• Violet: (~400nm) over 380mW/mm^2
• Blue: (~455nm) over 440mW/mm^2
• Green: (~520nm) over 120mW/mm^2
• Lime-Green: (~545nm) over 440mW/mm^2
• Yellow: (~595nm) over 80mW/mm^2
• Orange-Red: (~625nm) over 250mW/mm^2
• Deep Red: (~655nm) over 120mW/mm^2

*Other wavelengths from 365nm to Near Infrared, are available by request.

Components

The following components are included in this LED system. Components may also be purchased individually.

• Optogenetics-LED [1]
• Optogenetic-Fiber: LED to Rotary Joint [2]
• Rotary Joint [3]
• Choice of single or dual fiber for bilateral experiments[4]
• Fiber Optic Mating Sleeves [3]
• Pulser or PulserPlus for generation of pulse trains [5] (optional)

*Custom implantable cannulas optimized for LED should be ordered separately.

Key Features

• High Power density (>440 mW/mm²) at fiber's tip following all connections
• Unique large LED enables bilateral illumination with single LED and rotary joint for significant cost saving and without compromising power at implant tip.
• Extremely low torque LED-compatible rotary joint suitable for even the smallest animals.
• Adjustable power by 10 turn dial or Analog 0-5v Input
• TTL input with Opto-isolator to eliminate ground-loop
• USB control (optional)
• Instant warm up time
