CLEAN Power Filter

MICRON CLEAN signal processing filters out 60 Hz noise often found in building power systems. This unique feature eliminates the need for notch filters or bandwidth clipping, preventing distortion and allowing single ERG measurements without averaging low-level signals to remove noise.

ERG SOLUTIONS FOR THE RODENT EYE

Ganzfeld ERG

A compact, stand-alone unit with an extensive dynamic range, offering both UV and green light to precisely match the sensitivity of rodent photoreceptors.

Focal ERG

Attached to the MICRON imaging system, the Focal ERG enables precise targeting of specific retinal locations for study while preserving dark adaptation. It also supports a wide range of focal spot sizes.

A fully comprehensive system

Equipped with a full range of functions such as flicker, background saturation and OP wave extraction.

Equipped with CLEAN, a Phoenix innovation that automatically removes 60 Hz pickup.

Image-guided Focal ERG for Rodents

MICRON® Image-Guided Focal ERG quantitatively determines retinal function at precisely located positions and outputs a spatial map of retinal performance to facilitate assessment of treated versus non-treated regions. This is enabled using a deep red image and a deep red probe spot, seen on the MICRON® image in real time, and then flashing a white light stimulus and recording the electrical signal.

The image-guided ERG modality functions as an attachment to the MICRON retinal imaging system, maximizing laboratory space. The MICRON® provides illumination and imaging at 850 nm, supporting the highest levels of dark adaption.
