• Guide/Getting started with miniscopes
• Guide/Converting a Miniscope V4 for a different fluorophore (Description: A walkthrough of what considerations and adjustments need to be made to modify or purchase a Miniscope V4 designed to image something other than GCaMP such as rCaMP or PinkyCaMP)
• Guide/Surgery and baseplating (Description: A workflow for cortical and deep region surgery and baseplating)
• Guide/Data processing considerations (Description: This document walks through the typical analysis pipeline, what the dominant algorithms (especially CNMF-E variants) actually do, what one-photon (1p) data can and cannot tell you, and how to assess single-cell calcium activity quality.)
• Guide/How to test and debug your Miniscope V4 (Description: A walk through of considerations when first testing a Miniscope V4 and some tips and tricks for debugging common issues that might come up across use.)
