What is the Drosophila Shallow Chamber?
The Drosophila Shallow Chamber features sloped sigmoid-style ceilings that restrict flies to a monolayer, enabling accurate overhead viewing of social and locomotor behaviors. This design eliminates vertical movement that obscures tracking in standard chambers.
ConductVision tracks individual fly velocity, distance, activity ratios, body orientation, and thigmotaxis. Complex social behaviors are automatically detected and classified for genetic screens, pharmacological studies, and circadian rhythm research.
