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.
