BioLED Sources

Microscope LED

Mightex microscope LED light sources are modularized fully-customizable turn-key solutions for optogenetics, fluorescence excitation, and other biophotonics applications. Precisely-timed and high-intensity light pulses are required in optogenetics experiments to activate channelrhodopsins (ChR2, ChR1 etc.) and halorhodopsins (NpHR) in order to excite and inhibit neurons using a microscopy light source. To meet these requirements, Mightex has developed a proprietary “IntelliPulsing” technology to allow BLS-series sources to output significantly higher power in pulse mode than what the LEDs are rated for in CW mode.

Fiber-Coupled Light

Mightex fiber-coupled light sources are modularized fully-customizable turn-key solutions for optogenetics, fluorescence excitation, and other biophotonics applications. Precisely-timed and high-intensity light pulses are required in optogenetics experiments to activate channelrhodopsins (ChR2, ChR1 etc.) and halorhodopsins (NpHR) in order to excite and inhibit neurons. To meet these requirements, Mightex has developed a proprietary “IntelliPulsing” technology to allow Mightex’s fiber-coupled LED light sources to output significantly higher power in pulse mode than what the LEDs are rated for in CW mode.

Lightguide Coupled Leds

Mightex BLS-series BioLED light sources are modularized fully-customizable turn-key solutions for optogenetics, fluorescence excitation, and other biophotonics applications. Precisely-timed and high-intensity light pulses are required in optogenetics experiments to activate channelrhodopsins (ChR2, ChR1 etc.) and halorhodopsins (NpHR) in order to excite and inhibit neurons. To meet these requirements, Mightex has developed a proprietary “IntelliPulsing” technology to allow BLS-series sources to output significantly higher power in pulse mode than what the LEDs are rated for in CW mode.

Spotlight-Leds

Mightex BLS-series precision LED spotlight employ the latest high-power LED technologies and a proprietary coupling optics to achieve the best beam uniformity. In conjunction with BioLED light source control modules, these LED sources can be used for a wide range of applications including optogenetics and other bio-photonics applications.

Microscope Adapters

The Polygon is compatible with any commercial microscope (Nikon, Zeiss, Olympus, Leica) either upright or inverted microscope. Dedicated microscope adapters are designed to couple the Polygon into the infinity-path of any microscope model for patterned illumination capabilities.

Patterned Illumination

Polygon

600+ Labs Worldwide, 100+ Publications Using Polygon. Mightex’s market-leading Polygon DMD pattern illuminator provides precise spatiotemporal control of light with subcellular resolution, making it the perfect illumination tool for life science research. Cellular-Resolution Optogenetics and Photostimulation, Simultaneous Multi-Region Illumination, Subcellular Resolution, Compatible with Any Microscope

Polygon UHC

Mightex’s market-leading Polygon DMD pattern illuminators provide precise spatiotemporal control of light with subcellular resolution, making them the perfect illumination tool for life science research. The Polygon UHC incorporates the latest in digital micromirror technology to achieve the greatest available contrast ratio of 10,000,000:1, unlocking countless research opportunities for the bioscience community.

Infinity Port Expanders

Mightex’s Infinity Port Expanders enable researchers to increase the number of individual input devices to their microscope infinity light path. The Infinity Port Expanders (IPX) can accept patterned illuminators, such as the Polygon Pattern Illuminator , widefield illuminators, TIRF and laser/confocal scanners devices to maximize versatility of a microscope system. Our IPX2 solution provides a flexible, yet compact solution for your integration needs, while the IPX4 provides advanced flexibility and versatile configurations where 3 or more devices are being integrated to the system. The IPX2 and IPX4 can be used in any commercial inverted or upright microscope (e.g. Leica, Nikon, Olympus and Zeiss), or on Mightex’s OASIS Macro/Micro/Implant systems.

In Vivo Imaging and Stimulation

OASIS Micro

Microscope Imaging and Cellular-Resolution Optogenetics Platform. The OASIS Micro is a ground-breaking microscope platform for all-optical cellular-resolution optogenetics and imaging in small cortical or deep-brain areas of a head-fixed animal. Simultaneously image small cortical or deep brain regions and perform neuron-specific targeted optogenetics with the addition of Mightex’s Polygon pattern illuminator. Small cortical area or deep-brain for in vivo imaging and optogenetics, Cellular-resolution optogenetics, Reconfigurable platform, Designed for in vivo experiments

USB Cameras

Mightex - USB3.0 Monochrome or Color 5MP CMOS Camera (8 or 12 bit)

Mightex’s ultrafast USB 3.0 cameras are designed for applications that require high-speed and/or multiple cameras. These cameras are equipped with a super-speed USB3.0 interface that can deliver a transfer rate of up to 400 Mbytes per second, which is 10 times the USB2.0 speed, 3.5 times GigE speed and 6 times Firewire-800 speed. With a fast and high-definition Aptina 5 Megapixel CMOS image sensor that can offer up to 14fps in full resolution and up to 350fps using ROI mode, Mightex USB3.0 cameras are suited for industrial applications that require a great amount of data to be processed and transferred from the camera to the PC. These ultra-compact cameras have external trigger-in, strobe-out, and a powerful engine that supports multiple camera operations. In addition to all these outstanding features, a user-friendly GUI based application software and an SDK are provided for custom software development.
