Opto-electric Cannula - multiple electrodes
Opto-electric Cannula - multiple electrodes


Ordering Code:
  • Our opto-electric cannulas combines an optical fiber for optogenetics and/or photometry with 1 to 16 electrodes for electrophysiology recordings in freely-moving animals. The electrodes are connected via a 18 pins connector to Doric electrophysiology tethered headstage. We offer tungsten wire electrodes with diameter of 25, 35, 50 microns for single unit, multi units or field potential recording as described in the table below :

     CODE DESCRIPTION Impedance
    (Ohm)    		 RECOMMENDED USE
    W25-FLT  25 µm tungsten wire with flat tip  0.3 to 1.0 M  acute, single unit
    T4-W25-FLT  twisted tetrode of 4x 25 µm tungsten wire  0.3 to 1.0 M  chronic implant, single unit
    W50-FLT  50 µm tungsten wire with flat tip  0.1 to 0.5 M  chronic implant, single unit and LFP
    W50-A45  50 µm tungsten wire with 45 deg angled tip  0.1 to 0.5 M  chronic implant, single unit and LFP (easier penetration)
    L8-W35-A45  1x8 linear array of 35 µm tungsten wire with 45 deg angled tip  0.2 to 0.8 M  chronic implant, single unit and LFP (easier penetration)

    Custom configurations are available upon request, like the type of electrodes, the number of optical fibers and the disposition of the optical fibers and electrodes.
