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.

  • High Power density (>380 mW/mm²) at cannula`s fiber tip following all connections
  • Unique large LED enables bilateral illumination with single LED and rotary joint for significant cost saving and without compromising power at implant tip.
  • Extremely low torque LED-compatible rotary joint suitable for even the smallest animals
  • Precisely adjustable power by 10 turns potentiometer
  • TTL and Analog Inputs are Opto-Isolated to eliminate ground-loops
  • Analog input (0-5V) for power control
  • Instant warm up time
