Miniscope V4 & Go!Foton Lenses

[Masurkar Lab]

Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone used the Go!Foton relay GRIN lenses with Miniscope V4. It seems like the Inscopix relay GRIN lenses work best.

I have imaged a dorsal region with the Miniscope V3 and an Edmund Optics objective GRIN lens in the past,  and was able to capture many cells. I will now target a deeper structure in the brain, so the diameter will be less.

Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

Hello Isabel,

In general we think Grintech (sold by Inscopix) lenses perform a bit better than GoFoton lenses. If you end up using GoFoton lenses you need to use their CHL product line and should get the lenses coated in a bio-compatible coating.
