Inscopix, a company based in Palo Alto, CA, is releasing a new microscope for neuroscientists to use to peer into the living brain. Designed at Stanford University for small laboratory animals work, the nVista device can help researchers figure out how the neurons in the brain talk to each other since it can be used while the animal is alive and running around.
It’s already been available to a small group of researchers to trial out the technology that has led to a bunch of scientific papers, but the new availability will make the product accessible with different options and configurations depending on the animal and research to be conducted.
The microscope is actually part of a larger ecosystem of products that include surgical tools, analytical software, training, and support to help neuroscientists get on with their experiments.
