Optogenetics

Thorlabs offers a line of optogenetics equipment that allows for in vivo optical stimulation for neuroscience research. We currently offer a large selection of Optogenetics supplies, including implantable fiber optic cannulae with ceramic or stainless steel Ø1.25 or Ø2.5 mm ferrules, available both cleaved and scissor-cut. We also offer lightweight muultimode patch cables with ferrule ends for interconnection to our cannulae using a ceramic mating sleeve. Our optogenetics starter kit includes 10 cannulae, a patch cord, 470 nm LED light source and driver, and all required accessories. We also offer Fiber-Coupled LED light sources and a 473 nm Fiber-Coupled Laser allows for high-power illumination.
