Autoslice – The Synchroslice goes automatic
General
Don’t waste time with handling, spend your time doing science.
The AUTOSLICE is an enhancement of the well known SYNCHROSLICE multiple slice evaluation system (manufactured by LRE).
By using the slice chamber mounted 3-dimensional micromanipulators (manufactured by Thomas Recording) and precise video control, the AUTOSLICE allows an automatic movement of recording and stimulation electrodes.
Simply click on a touch screen in order to mark the position of the electrodes and the AUTOSLICE moves the electrode to the desired position in the slice.
Save time and get high reproducibility of the electrode positioning by using the AUTOSLICE.
Eight miniature 3-dimensional motorized manipulators are mounted on the top of a 4-channel tissue slice chamber. The recording electrodes (single fiber, tetrode or heptode) are advanced by a precise pencil drive. Either submerged or interface type slice chambers can be used.
