Wireless Optogenetic Stimulator

Teleopto
The Teleopto wireless optogenetic stimulator is a sophisticated system comprising a wireless optical fiber linked to a high-precision LED light source, a remote control unit, a receiver, and essential accessories. This system's optical fiber is ingeniously paired with a high-brightness LED, resulting in an output power that reaches the milliwatt scale. This cutting-edge technology ensures the delivery of a highly accurate and stable LED light source, tailored to meet the specific requirements of optogenetic research.

Description

Overview

Optogenetics, which fuses genetic engineering with light to control the activity of specific neurons, is a pivotal approach in advancing treatments for various neurological conditions.

The Teleopto wireless optogenetic stimulator is an advanced setup that includes a wireless optical fiber integrated with a high-precision LED light source, a remote controller, a compact receiver, and complementary accessories.

This setup features an optical fiber that integrates a high-brightness LED light source, delivering an output power in the milliwatt range. The precision of this technology ensures a consistent and accurate light source. The choice of optical fibers is tailored to the specific color of light needed for the experiment.

By offering wireless functionality, the Teleopto stimulator transcends the restrictions of traditional wired setups, freeing animals from the limitations of tethered connections. This freedom of movement facilitates a more natural behavior, which is crucial for collecting reliable and precise experimental data.
