ERG SOLUTIONS FOR THE RODENT EYE

MICRON® Ganzfeld ERG2

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 ERG2

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 functional 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.

Ganzfeld ERG for rodents

 

The MICRON® Ganzfeld ERG2 System is optimized for the unique retinal response of rodent photoreceptors and provides the specific capability to excite S-cones, M-cones, and rods. A proprietary software suite controls the stimulus for UV and green—providing full control of pulse width, delay, intensity, and flicker.

The unique Maxwellian view design allows for the corneal electrode to be part of the front lens. An infrared camera provides guidance, ensuring gentle contact with the cornea even in minimal light. This maintains absolute dark adaptation and stable contact with the eye.

Designed for a crowded lab: The smallest system for the smallest animals.
