    Scientifica VivoScope

    The VivoScope is a slimline upright microscope. When combined with a multiphoton scan head, it forms the foundation of the finest in vivo imaging system for two-photon behavioural studies.

    The VivoScope is ideal for larger in vivo samples, linear or spherical treadmills, large stereotaxic frames or other virtual reality set-ups. The extended position of the scan head gives more room between the light path on your sample and the microscope frame.

    Benefits

    Extra space

    The extended scan head gives more room between the light path onto your sample and the microscope frame without compromising stability (205.94 mm up from 130 mm).

    Galvo or Resonant

    The VivoScope is available with both galvo and resonant scan head options, depending on your experimental requirements.

    Acoustic isolation

    Our custom scan head enclosure integrates acoustic insulating foam to dramatically reduce the audible noise created by the resonant motor without affecting performance.

    Patch under multiphoton illumination

    The fast frame rate provides the visual feedback required to position your patch pipette accurately under infrared laser light.

    Deep imaging for large populations of cells

    Tailored to large back aperture objectives, the entire field of view can be quickly scanned to monitor the activity from a large number of cells.

    The VivoScope microscope frame is available with resonant or galvo scan heads and a variety of detectors including the MDU, MDU XL, ChromoFlex and FLIM Upgrade kit. Take a look at our buyer’s guide to see our full multiphoton range and all scan head, frame and detector options available.

    The VivoScope in action at the Allen Institute

    The Allen Institute for Brain Science is using three VivoScopes to collect data for the Allen Brain Observatory, an ongoing project to visualise the brain in action. Watch the video below for more information:


    Control options

    The VivoScope can be fully controlled in Scientifica's own SciScan software. It can also be driven by Vidrio Technologies ScanImage or custom software.
