Short Description
A microscope mounted MEA (60 channels) with heat control, superfusion set up, electric and optic stimulation capacity for cell culture probes (2-D or organoid) or acute or organotypic tissue samples
Description
Application: Recording of extracellular potentials from electrically active tissue samples.
Common read outs of interest:
- Neuronal action potentials (spontaneous or evoked)
- Field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSP)
- Local field potentials (LFP)
Technical specifications:
- Gain 1100, signal range: a few tens of µV (detectability depending on background activity) up to +/-3.7 mV
- 59 recording channels, various electrode sizes and layout configurations available
- Capacity for electric stimulation at any individual or any combination of electrodes
- Capacity for optic stimulation (wavelengths (in nm): 470, 513, 580, 640; combinable with the below mentioned filters; intensity scaleable; temporally patterned stimulation possible)
- Capacity to image the sample from below (objectives: 2x, 4x, 10x, 20x, additional 1.5x magnification)
- Fluorescence imaging capacity (filters: CFP, GFP, TxRed, Cy5)
Cobinable with:
- Heat control (internal heating plate (cultures) and inline heater (acute tissue))
- Superfusion and drainage of fresh solutions
- Bathapplication of modulators
- Mechanic stimulation
