<p dir="ltr">Researchers at Janelia have designed several head plates for live imaging of a mouse using a downward-facing objective in collaboration with jET. They are specially designed to work with the 2P-RAM (2-photon random access mesoscope).</p><p dir="ltr">The head plate is attached to the skull of the mouse. It is used to secure the head to the microscope. The design is distinguished by a shallow profile and is secured on only one side of the animal. Thus, it is ideal for use with the 2P-RAM objective, which is much larger than a conventional microscope objective.</p><p dir="ltr"><b>Use</b></p><p dir="ltr">Free to make for Non-Profit Research by downloading designs at GitHub link. <b><u>Please cite this DOI.</u></b><br>Commercial licenses are also available, contact innovation@janelia.hhmi.org and reference this DOI.
