Head-mounted microscope brings unprecedented view of neuronal activity in mice. Lightweight device broadens field of view by an order of magnitude over current state of the art.

In the not-so-distant future, there will be a new kind of microscope on the market. One that can easily fit in a backpack or purse and zoom in up to 1,000 times, making it possible for pretty much ...

A microscope atop an animal's head, scientists have found, provides a better view of how the brain processes visual and other stimuli on the move. The device contains a laser, which can scan the ...

Head-mounted microscope reaches deeper into mouse brains. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2022 / 03 / 220329142540.htm ...

Mounted outside the brain, the microscope simply sends light into the brain, in turn receiving the light emitted out of the brain. While conventional microscopes are too heavy to enable functional ...

The ContourGT-I 3-D bench profiler from Bruker not only simplifies feature tracking over a range of angles with its tip/tilt head, but also provides fully automated operation, including the head, ...

Yes, but I prefer stereo microscopes, because holding high mag head-mounted optics steady is hard. The electronics are on the bench with the microscope, so everything in the high mag field of view ...

A good starter microscope, ... The 360-degree rotating head enabled alternate viewing without losing focus of the specimen. Image 1 of 3. The AmScope M150C comes with 3 batteries, ...

Head mounted microscopes are used to image the brains of small rodents through transparent windows implanted into their skulls. Researchers have previously developed head-mounted widefield ...
