Microimaging setup

Caption

The microimager, composed of a dense array of flexible optical waveguides along an implantable thin-film shank, relays pixelized fluorescent images of protein-tagged neurons to the image sensor. The central waveguide provides excitation light while surrounding waveguides collect fluorescent emission light.
