Overview
The fiber photometry system records changes in the fluorescence intensity of neurons in a specific brain area to reflect neuronal population activity. In the study of neural circuits, the fiber photometry system can perform long-term stable monitoring of the neurons of freely moving animals, and explore the correlation between neural activity and animal behavior.
- Main Applications:
Ca2 + and neurotransmitter signal detection
Study the function of neural circuits
Explore the mechanisms of neurological diseases
Develop new fluorescent sensor probe
Experiment of optical principle - Advantages
Three kinds of excitation light sources, that is 410nm、470nm and 560nm, are respectively used for excitation
of reference, green fluorescence and red fluorescence;
Support up to 9 channels, suitable for simultaneous experiment of multiple animals or multiple brain
locations;
Dual highly sensitive detectors enabling independent and sequential detection to avoid interference of
fluorescence excitation and detection, acquiring more accurate signal;
Professional acquisition and analysis softwares are flexible and easy to operate with data processing functions
available. No matlab programming is required;
Supports multiple acquisition modes including continuous acquisition, interval acquisition, acquisition upon
trigger, delayed acquisition and timing acquisition;
Live display of DeltaF/F acquisition to check scale of signal changes during acquisition;
Customized adjustment of output signal parameter, easily trigger and control external excitation equipment
to achieve closed-cycle control of excitation and recording;
Compatible with optogenetics for recording and stimulation at the same site.

Demand of the Product：We recorded calcium dynamics in DG-projecting SuM neurons by fiber photometry. In vivo recordings were carried out in an
open-top HC (21.6×17.8×12.7 cm3) or EE (45×25× 20 cm3) containing toys, colorful balls, domes or tunnels and food, for 10min.
