The Polygon1000 pattern illuminators are designed and produced by Mightex Systems specifically for applications such as - optogenetics, photoactivation, and photostimulation, to deliver precise light patterns to the area of interest to stimulate or silence selected neurons
The requirement for precise spatial, temporal, and spectral control of light is vital for several cutting-edge scientific applications (such as optogenetics, photoactivation, uncaging, and photostimulation etc.). Patterned illumination provides scientists with these fine-tuned capabilities that are not possible with wide-field illumination. In particular, precise control of light is crucial for the highly advancing field of optogenetics.
New large DMD chip combined with interchangeable front tube optics (1x & 2x*) enables larger field-of-view without comprising resolution and power
* 2X front tube lens sold separately
Increased maximum frame rate means better temporal resolution for advanced physiologically-relevant experiments and virtually simultaneous 2-colour illumination of distinct ROIs
Faster uploading time, up to 4ms uploading speed per frame, allows the Polygon1000 to perform real-time pattern illumination for closed-loop experiments
Enable to coupled into the infinity space of any microscope model with Mightex’s microscope-specific adapters, MPI multi-port illuminator, and Nikon's LAPP modular
