FP3002

The Next Generation Fiber Photometry System

With the sensitivity to pick up the activity of a single cell and the bandwidth to record from multiple freely moving animals and/or brain regions simultaneously, the original FP3001 set the standard for multi-fiber photometry recordings. Through our work with over 100 labs worldwide, we have designed the second-generation system — the FP3002 — to include many optimizations to user accessibility and processing power while integrating a new feature: lasers for optogenetic stimulation.

The FP3002 has three excitation wavelengths for fiber photometry recording:

  • 470 nm for imaging of green calcium indicators (e.g. GCaMP)

  • 560 nm for imaging of red-shifted calcium indicators (e.g. RCaMP)

  • 415 nm for an interleaved isosbestic control to eliminate motion artifacts (i.e. calcium-independent signals)

The added functionality of the FP3002 includes:

  • Real-time processing and flexible control with a new computer interface

  • Live data processing of many channels

  • Fully redesigned magnetic patch cord mounting system

  • Ultra-stable scientific LEDs with patent-pending fiber optic feedback mechanism

  • Upgraded sCMOS camera and knife’s edge image splitter for increased sensitivity

  • Micro-second precision with synchronization across multiple devices

  • Ability to collect analytical measurements for accurate across-subject comparisons

  • Integrated optogenetics stimulation system with function generator

The FP3002 can be outfitted with up to two lasers (450nm, 635nm) for optogenetic stimulation. The first laser is free! Include both lasers for an additional customization fee.
