New NeuraLight 3D Ultra Module Expands Neuroscience Research Capabilities
MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) today announced the release of theNeuraLight 3 d超™module to support advanced neuroscience and optogenetics research applications on Bruker’sUltimamultiphoton microscopes.NeuraLight 3 d超provides revolutionary 3D holographic photostimulation, specifically optimized for functional and large-scale studies of neural networks and brain computation. Building upon Bruker’s proprietary spatial light modulator (SLM) technology, theNeuraLight 3 d超module utilizes a new, larger liquid crystal chip that unlocks access to a larger field of view, improved targeting precision, and a market-leading speed of 600 hologram frames per second. Paired with the imaging capabilities of theUltima 2Pplusmicroscope, it uniquely allows researchers to study mechanisms of behavior, perception, and disease at a larger scale and on a time scale that is reflective of the underlying biology.
“The system is performing very well in our laboratory, and we’re excited about theNeuraLight 3 d超’sspeed, field of view, and resolution, which will enable us to perform all-optical interrogation experiments with greater fidelity and precision,” said Dr. Adam Packer, Wellcome Trust Sir Henry Dale Fellow at the University of Oxford. “The new format SLM and associated optical relays offer a better tradeoff between field of view and resolution that will be advantageous to addressing larger numbers of cells with improved accuracy. Additionally, the very fast update speed of the system will make it possible to activate sequences of cells at a high rate.”
“We are pleased to continue to develop innovative instrumentation in close collaboration with leaders in neuroscience research,” added Xiaomei Li, Ph.D., Vice President and General Manager for Bruker’s Fluorescence Microscopy Business. “With its largest in-class field of view in fast resonant mode, theUltima 2Pplusmicroscope equipped withNeuraLight 3 d超全光学interroga是一个优化的解决方案吗tions of the brain.”
About NeuraLight 3D Ultra
TheNeuraLight 3 d超is a module that strengthens and diversifies the functionality of Bruker’sUltimamultiphoton microscopes. These pioneering imaging systems have a proven track record of facilitating complex research in neuroscience and were first to enable simultaneous imaging and photostimulation of biological samples.NeuraLight 3 d超easily couples to one of the optical ports of theUltimamicroscope to allow for independent imaging and simultaneous multicellular photostimulation. Comprehensive software enables user-friendly selection of targets in three dimensions with well-defined timing. TheNeuraLight 3 d超module is available as an option for all newUltima 2Pplusmultiphoton microscopes and as an upgrade for selected models of microscopes produced since 2006.Ultimamultiphoton systems equipped withNeuraLight 3 d超and paired with Bruker’s electrotunable lens option provide complete solutions for all-optical reading and writing of neuronal activity.
