About the OASIS Macro

OASIS Macro is a modular macroscope built on a heavy-duty XYZ stage with a 2-axis tilt, so the objective can be set at any angle to the specimen. Decks can be stacked to add imaging or photostimulation modules, filter cubes seat magnetically for tool-free swapping, and C-mount cameras from Mightex or other suppliers attach directly (with an optional splitter for two cameras).

Combined with the Polygon1000, the low-magnification, high-NA macro objectives deliver targeted illumination across up to 10 mm × 10 mm with pixel resolution down to 3 µm. External Mightex spotlight LEDs can be added for intrinsic imaging of hemodynamic responses in the 550–625 nm range.

Features

  • Fields of view up to 10 mm × 10 mm
  • Interchangeable 1X, 2X and 4X macro objectives; working distances up to 190 mm
  • Heavy-duty XYZ stage with integrated 2-axis tilt
  • Modular deck architecture with standardised connecting plates
  • Magnetically seated, swappable filter cubes for multi-colour imaging and stimulation
  • Multiple illumination ports; Polygon1000 integration with pixel resolution down to 3 µm
  • PolyEcho integration: up to 12 digital inputs, 12 digital outputs and 8 analog outputs

Applications listed by Mightex

  • Cortex-wide dynamic fluorescence imaging in head-fixed animals
  • Large-field targeted optogenetics (for example along peripheral nerves)
  • Intrinsic imaging with external spotlight LEDs
  • Larger animal models, including macaques and marmosets
