From Mightex
Mightex’s optogenetics starter kits are ready-to-use turn-key solution for ChR2 stimulation. Based on our high-power fiber-coupled LED’s and versatile LED controllers, the starter kits are specifically designed to provide the most turn-key solutions for ChR2 stimulation. They feature super-high output power (up to 7.2mW with a 200µm fiber) and ultra-low power variation (<2%) during rotation.

| Software/TTLThe BLS-SA02/04-US controller features simple software GUI, a one-stop interface to operate the LED sources in constant intensity, pulse, or external TTL triggered mode.20µs minimum pulse width and up to 25kHz modulation frequency and TTL triggered operation for fast switching between different LED wavelengths, making this option an ideal choice for working with electrophysiology rig. BLS-SA02/04-US is also ideal for synchronization of light pulse with camera by using TTL signal. more | |
| Manual/AnalogThe superfast BLS-1000-2 and BLS-3000-2 controllers feature a modulation frequency of up to 100kHz using external analog control. Researchers can take full potential of solid-state LED’s speed to meet all their need for superfast modulation of illumination. Output waveform can be completely arbitrary since it is driven by analog signal.Two precise manual control dials offer on the unit simple access to constant intensity. Switches on the front panel are used to conveniently select between manual and analog signal control. more |
