    Basic Information
    This system is an in vivo deep brain imaging platform based on a single ultra-thin multimode optical fiber probe, designed for high-resolution observation of neuronal structures and activity in living animals.
    It integrates laser-scanning fluorescence microscopy with digital holographic wavefront shaping, enabling minimally invasive imaging of deep brain regions through a fiber probe on the order of ~100 μm in diameter.
    The platform provides submicron spatial resolution within a small field of view and supports real-time functional imaging of fast neural signals such as calcium and voltage dynamics. It also enables random-access scanning and dynamic focus control for flexible interrogation of neural circuits.
    The system is primarily used in neuroscience research, including studies of deep brain circuit function, disease mechanisms, and pharmacological screening.
    Product Advantages:
    Minimally invasive imaging: Uses an ultra-thin (~100 μm) optical fiber probe, significantly reducing tissue damage.
    Access to deep brain regions: Enables imaging of deep neural structures beyond the reach of conventional optical microscopy.
    High spatial resolution: Achieves submicron resolution, enabling visualization at single-cell and subcellular levels.
    Real-time neural signal recording: Supports fast functional imaging of neural activity, including calcium and voltage signals.
    Flexible scanning capability: Enables random-access scanning for efficient and targeted data acquisition.
    High compatibility with labeling methods: Compatible with various fluorescent indicators and neural probes.
    Suitable for chronic in vivo studies: Designed for long-term imaging and tracking of neural circuit dynamics.
