Publication number: 20230359011Abstract: Systems and methods for multi-color imaging using a microscope system. The microscope system can have a relatively small size as compared to an average microscope system. The microscope system can include various components configured to reduce or eliminate image artifacts such as chromatic aberrations and/or noise from stray light that can occur during multi-color imaging. The components can be configured to reduce or eliminate the image artifacts, and/or noise without substantially changing the size of the microscope system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: Inscopix, Inc.Inventors: Mark TRULSON, Koen VISSCHER, Kevin NEWMAN

Publication number: 20230285107Abstract: Systems and methods configured for simultaneous imaging and stimulation using a microscope system. The microscope system can have a relatively small size compared to an average microscope system. The microscope can comprise in part an imaging light source and a stimulation light source. Light from the imaging light source and the stimulation light source can be spectrally separated to reduce cross talk between the stimulation light and the imaging light.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: Inscopix, Inc.Inventors: Mark O. TRULSON, Alice STAMATAKIS, Koen VISSCHER
