An extension module for a two-photon microscope enables flexible in vivo imaging and all-optical physiology
Two-photon imaging is essential for revealing the structure, function, and interaction of various cell types. However, conventional two-photon microscopes have limitations in sample accessibility and optogenetic manipulation during imaging. Here, we present Ex2p/Ex2pO, an open-source extension module that adds an objective lens rotation axis and one-photon optical stimulation synchronized with the non-imaging intervals of resonant scanning to a two-photon microscope. The Ex2p/Ex2pO can be seamlessly integrated into existing microscopes by simply replacing the standard objective lens assembly without any modifications. It enables imaging of curved structures while maintaining the subject’s natural posture and simultaneous imaging and one-photon stimulation with low crosstalk between stimulation and fluorescent light. We demonstrate one-photon stimulation during two-photon imaging of mice behaving in a virtual reality environment and pluripotent stem cell-derived cortical organoids. Thus, Ex2p/Ex2pO expands the versatility to investigate neural circuit motifs in behaving animals and organoids, enabling all-optical physiology in existing two-photon imaging systems.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
