Description

The University of Calgary is seeking proposals for two miniscope systems, which are lightweight, head-mounted fluorescence microscopes designed for chronic imaging of neural activity in freely behaving mice. One system must provide single wavelength epifluorescence miniscope recording, and the other must provide dual wavelength miniscope recording. The systems are intended for neuroscience research to study circuit dynamics during animal behaviors. An optional three-year extended warranty is also required.
