Optogenetics Starterkit

Optogenetics is a relatively new field at the link between optics and life sciences, in which optically switchable biomolecules are used to precisely control cellular functions via a light stimulus. The Optogenetics Starterkit is designed to simplify the implementation of the method and reduce existing barriers to entry.

• Modular System: Combine existing imaging hardware with new modules to create your customized system.
• Ready-to-use Tools: No time-consuming implementation phases for optogenetic experiments due to a perfectly matched complete system of hard- & software.
• User-friendly Software “CellSurgeon V4.0”: Simple planning of experiments using the “drag & drop” function and saving of pre-planned experiment sequences
• Laser Slider for Selective Light Induced Cell Stimulation: Easy integration of a laser beam by using a laser slider for selective cell stimulation in common research microscopes.
