Fiber photometry is a calcium imaging method for detecting neural activity. Researchers can use genetic animal models and fluorescent proteins, such as calcium (GCaMP) and dopamine (dLight), to study specific brain circuits.
TDT’s Fiber Photometry is an out-of-the-box solution designed for researchers. Our user-friendly Synapse software provides a seamless interface to the real-time LUX RZ10X processor. Integrated LUX LEDs and photosensors streamline hardware setup and debugging. TDT allows you to focus on the research and not the equipment.
Synapse and our LUX hardware simplify fiber photometry. With Synapse, record and view your fluorophore responses in real-time, while behavior and video data is automatically time-locked. Optogenetics and electrophysiology can also be incorporated for multi-modal and closed-loop experiments.
