The gripper allows to hold the Miniscope during baseplating. This is especially convenient when imaging deep brain regions, thereby having a GRIN relay lens implanted. The gripper has been tested successfully during multiple baseplate surgeries. Use the "Miniscope gripper - High resolution printing.stl" file if you have acce...")

Using this setup, it is possible to image in rats, while preventing damage due to grooming, bumping into objects, or other unforeseen movements. This system has successfully been tested and used in our experiments. It is possible to hold the animal while snapping on the protective cone with your other hand. Importantly, during baseplating, keep in mind that the set...")

GRadient INdex (GRIN) lenses use a non uniform index of refraction to shape light instead of surface curvature as with standard lenses. Our system uses a cylindrical GRIN lens which is implanted within 200um of the structure of interest. For a given GRIN lens, its focusing property can be adjusted by changing the pitch of the lens which is directly related to the lens length. *Advant...")
