Prizmatix Implantable Fiber Optic Cannulae allow direct stimulation of target brain tissues in freely moving animals in Optogenetics experiments.

Each probe consists of a Zirconia ferrule accommodating a high NA silica optical fiber, protruding from Zirconia ferrule at desired length. The fiber is optically polished at both ends to ensure high quality optical coupling and reliability. All cannula components are biocompatible, implantable and non-metallic, making them NMR/MRI compatible.

The cannulas are available in two ferrules diameters: 2.5mm and lightweight 1.25mm for smaller animals such as mice.

Prizmatix Zirconia Mating Sleeves may be purchased separately.
