High frame rates combined with skeletal tracking software make Ramona’s MCAM tm ideal for Zebrafish behavioral assays.

To understand the purpose and function of groups of neurons in the brain, scientists turn to a relatively new technique — optogenetics. Optogenetics researchers genetically modify neurons to respond to particular wavelengths of light, stimulate them, and observe the effects in a still-living organism, such as a zebrafish. Shining light on the genetically modified zebrafish in this video cause it to move its tail rapidly, suggesting the function of the stimulated neurons is related to movement. The Multi-Camera Array Microscope provides the ability to capture and analyze high-resolution, high-throughput optogenetic data for precise results.
