Multi-Probe Micromanipulator Mounting System for M RFP

Description: Multi-Probe Micromanipulator Mounting System for Multi-Region Neuropixels Recordings. Salient characteristics: Designed for simultaneous positioning and insertion of multiple neural probes for; in vivo electrophysiology; Capability to support high-density multi-probe placement within constrained; experimental space; Motorized XYZ positioning with micron-scale resolution (~0.5 µm or better); Travel range of approximately 15 mm per axis; Controlled probe insertion speeds, including slow insertion modes for neural; recording stability; Compact motorized stages using piezoelectric or equivalent technology to ensure; mechanical stability and minimal drift; Multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) probe mounting arms allowing flexible probe; alignment and targeting; Compatibility with Neuropixels probes and similar silicon-based neural probes; Integrated or compatible software for stereotactic positioning using a 3D brain; atlas (e.g., Allen CCF); Capability to define and execute probe trajectories (angles, entry points, depth; coordinates); Integration with third-party trajectory planning tools (e.g., Neuropixels Trajectory; Explorer, Pinpoint); Simulation capability to visualize probe trajectories prior to insertion; Compatibility with common neural data acquisition systems (e.g., Open Ephys,; SpikeGLX, Allego); Flexible system configuration (e.g., upright or inverted setups); Capability to support additional modalities (e.g., optical fibers or waveguides).
