Title
Cortex-wide, cellular-resolution two-photon microscopy
Conference Dates
June 2-6, 2019
Abstract
Functional imaging of the mouse brain in its extreme complexity involves substantial trade-offs. An optical intrinsic spectroscopy system can image the entire cortex but at the expense of spatial and temporal resolution [1]. A two-photon microscope (TPM) can image single neurons with high temporal resolution, but the field of view (FOV) is generally restricted. Advanced techniques like random-access scanning allow for imaging single neurons that are millimeters apart but only by ignoring the neurons and tissue in between [2]. By carefully considering the properties of the optical components as well as the imaging requirements, we present a TPM capable of imaging nearly the entire mouse cortex with 15 Hz frame rates and single neuron resolution.
