1. Please briefly describe your research focus and current projects.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We work on fluorescent imaging in the mouse brain, to study metabolism, neurotransmission and hemodynamics. My role in particular is focused on the implementation of optical techniques (with a focus on Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging) and data analysis tools.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. What research needs or challenge were you aiming to address when looking for a
solution ?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of our studies, we were implementing a mini2P microscope for brain imaging of freely behaving mice.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. What factors influenced your decision to select our system ?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photonics crystal fiber from LightCore offered a unique combination of low dispersion across a broad wavelength range.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. How has your experience been using our system in your research work ?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fiber is of high quality and worked with no problem. The custom-made collimation adapter for the mini2P was also robust and well functional. The coupling box offered an easy alignment experience.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Have our system contributed to any improvements in your workflow, experiments,
efficiency, or research outcomes ?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significant simplification of alignment and flexibility in the choice of the excitation wavelength.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. Are there any specific features or aspects you particularly value ?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The broad wavelength range in which the fiber can be operated.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

7. Would you recommend our system to other researchers or institutions ? Why ?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Definitely, and in fact I already have. For the transport of femtosecond pulses for multiphoton excitation the fiber from LightCore is the only one I know of to offer high transmittance and very low dispersion across a very wide wavelength range.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n
