One method to observe neuronal activity during free behavior is the head-mounted fluorescence microscope.
One method for observing neuronal activity under free behavior is the head-mounted fluorescence microscope. The microscope body weighs only 3 grams and is equipped with a CMOS sensor, an electronic focusing mechanism (focal depth 0-300μm), and filters. An imaging cannula (GRIN lens) is inserted into the animal's head, capturing images at the lens tip with the CMOS sensor. This model adds a light stimulation function (optogenetics): NpHR halorhodopsin activation capability to the aforementioned features. The microscope body and the imaging cannula (GRIN lens) are securely and easily fixed with screws, and no special fixtures are required for fixation. Four types of imaging cannulas are available, depending on the depth of the target to be observed and the diameter of the GRIN lens. By using an imaging cannula equipped with a prism at the tip, it is also possible to observe sagittal or coronal sections.
