Prizmatix Ltd. products

The Prizmatix Optogenetics-LED-Blue module is specially designed to provide high power Blue light (~460nm) to activate Channelrhodopsin (ChR1, ChR2) in optogenetics experiments with freely moving mammals. This LED source provides powerful light irradiance of >380 mW/mm² at fiber implant tip following all fiber-optic connections including Rotary Joint. Prizmatix unique Optogenetics-LED design enables optional bilateral activation with a single LED and standard rotary joint for significant cost saving and without compromising power at fiber optic canula tip.

Ultra High Power (UHP) Ultra High Power (UHP-T-EP) LEDs incorporate advanced electronics and optics designed for use in demanding Electrophysiology and Optogenetics applications. The UHP-T-EP (electrophysiology) features an ultra-high brightness single emitter LED (as opposed to LED array) optimized for both epifluorescence excitation and fiber coupled use. Compatible with Prizmatix’s Optiblock system, a single LED can be expanded to multi-wavelength or multi-output use with ease. Sophisticated electronics eliminates virtually all EM/RF noise and may be used inside or near EP rigs without shielding. The UHP-T LED driver includes TTL and Analog input as standard features. The TTL input is ideal for fast switching with a rise/fall time of microseconds, exceeding the required millisecond speed of most Optogenetics applications. Analog input allows for software control of intensity using a 0-5v signal.

The Beam Combiner can join two discrete UHP-LEDs into one output beam, which can then be coupled to a microscope or an optical fiber. For increased versatility, additional optical filters can be installed at the input or the output ports of the Beam Combiner.
