Scitech to distribute Mightex Systems light delivery and microscopy systems for bioscience and live animal research

Scitech has been appointed the authorised distributor for Mightex Systems in Australia and New Zealand. The product range includes light delivery systems, fluorescence microscopy illumination systems, optogenetics patterned stimulators, microscope light sources, multiwavelength LED sources and LED controllers for bioscience and live animal research.

With Mightex illuminators, optogenetics researchers can investigate behaviours of neurons and their circuits by precisely delivering light of different colours, and with high spatial and temporal resolutions, to stimulate/silence selected neurons. In addition, they can stimulate/silence neurons independently and/or simultaneously at different locations. Researchers can map synaptic circuitry and neurotransmitter receptors by delivering the light with millisecond temporal resolution. Furthermore, the company’s OASIS Implant system allows scientists to simultaneously image and optogenetically manipulate targeted neurons with subcellular resolution in freely behaving animals.

Mightex light delivery systems cover a wide spectrum, from deep UV to VIS to NIR; come in all possible optical formats, including collimated, uniform, focused, fibre-coupled and lightguide-coupled LEDs; and range from single-wavelength to multiple-wavelength, wavelength-switchable and spectrum-tailorable/programmable.
