MICRON® Image-Guided Focal ERG2
Image-Guided Focal ERG2 System optimized for use with rodents
- Attaches to the MICRON® camera
- Deep Red fundus view keeps animal totally dark adapted
- Micromanipulators enable precise placement of focal stimulus on a target area
- Built-in corneal lens electrode - no more small
contact lens placement in a darkened lab - Integrated heater and efficient electrode system
Powerful software analysis tools not only extract the oscillatory potentials (OP) but automatically build a waterfall display.
CLEAN Power Filter
MICRON® clean signal processing reduces electrical interference from AC mains power, with selectable 50 Hz or 60 Hz filtering to accommodate regional power frequencies and improve signal quality.
ERG SOLUTIONS FOR THE RODENT EYE
MICRON® 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.
MICRON® Image-Guided Focal ERG
Attached to the MICRON® imaging system, the MICRON Image-Guided Focal ERG2 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-Micron innovation that automatically removes 60 Hz pickup.
Image-guided Focal2 ERG for Rodents
MICRON® Image-Guided Focal ERG2 quantitatively determines retinal function at precisely located positions and outputs a graph of retinal performance to facilitate assessment of treated versus non-treated regions. This is enabled using a deep red image and a deep red focal 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 650 nm, supporting the highest levels of dark adaption.
