Rodent Optogenetics Laser Stimulation Complete Kit

A complete rodent optogenetics laser stimulation kit integrates a calibrated laser source, fiber optic patch cords, ferrule connectors, and stereotaxic implantation hardware into a single, impedance- and wavelength-matched system, eliminating the compatibility guesswork that arises when sourcing components from multiple vendors. By pairing the light delivery hardware with implantable cannula components designed to the same numerical aperture and fiber diameter specifications, the bundle ensures consistent, quantifiable photostimulation parameters across animals and experimental sessions.
