We introduce a groundbreaking development from BVC: the world’s first FREELY MOVING 3D MICROSCOPE, which allows fast 3D acousto-optical scanning (>100 kHz/ROI) with high resolution in large scanning volumes, even in freely moving mice.
The latest BVC development, which elicited the loudest applause from the professional audience, was first presented at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) congress 2024, on 26th June by our founder, Balázs Rózsa, MD, PhD.
A robot arm that can be combined with 3D laser scanning microscopy technology has attracted the attention of more than 2000 researchers. The new microscopy technology can examine experimental animals (mice) while they move freely, maintaining the excellent quality of brain signal measurements, which approaches the theoretical maximum. The aim of the device, combined with new robotic technology and a custom-developed real-time computer, is to achieve the most natural results possible in rodent model studies conducted in neuroscience research.
Combining with FEMTO3D Atlas:
The market for “freely moving” imaging devices already exists; however, the current technology, which weighs a few grams, cannot provide the fast temporal and spatial resolution and accuracy of the current high-performance, multi-hundred-kilogram, 3D femtosecond laser scanning microscopy procedures during the examination of moving animals.
This new technology surpasses these limitations by being capable of providing the fast temporal and spatial resolution and accuracy of high-performance, multi-hundred-kilogram, 3D femtosecond laser scanning microscopy during the examination of moving animals.
