Custom scan optics for two-photon imaging

unnamed

Adrian Negrean, in Huibert Mansvelder’s lab, has been designing and building custom scan optics for two-photon imaging and earlier this year published his work (paper). Labrigger wants to emphasize how nice this paper is. It’s an easy read, with clear figures, and offers a lot of practical insights. It has a ton of information and we highly recommend reading it. Even if you don’t copy the exact design they present, there is almost certainly information and ideas you can use to optimize your designs.

SLAB has been doing a lot of custom optical design recently, and this paper has been a great resource. If you want to know more about what SLAB has been up to, come to the Short Course workshop at the SfN meeting.
