This app helps researchers to calculate “the required optical power for a given in vivo experiment involving optogenetics or any other experimental approach that includes light delivery to deep brain areas via optical fibre.” Users can input the brain region, properties of the specific opsin and the optical fibre. Use it to explore connections between neurons and how changes to a single connection can affect entire networks and lead to behavioural changes. Neuronify allows you to investigate how neurons and neural networks behave.
You can input the properties of objectives to calculate their lateral resolution, axial resolution and fluorescence brightness, as well as ensure input camera properties to ensure your sampling is optimal. Resolution enables you to see how well-matched your objective lenses are to your image acquisition system.
