LxM FP Optical Manifolds

With TDT’s LxM optical manifold, you have the ability to easily change filters as needed. Paired with either of TDT’s Fiber Photometry systems – you can also easily swap LEDs with different biosensors for a completely customizable platform as your research evolves, or to quickly switch between experiments. 

The TDT LxM Manifold is a compact, modifiable beam filter for Fiber Photometry and Optogenetic Stimulation. Each Manifold is custom configured for standard optical sensors, like GCaMP, dLight, GRAB, and SnFR. However, the LXM manifold was specifically designed to easily swap the sensor filters to match the best isosbestic, excitation, and emission spectra of your favorite biosensor.

In the ever expanding world of biosensors from SnFR to long wavelength dLight, RCaMP and GRAB sensors, TDT can provide custom filter configurations as your research expands.

LxM-4
Four-port system configured standard single biosensor recordings.

LxM-6
Six-port system configured for two biosensors or optogenetic stimulation and fiber photometry on the same site.

Research Uses

  • Fiber Photometry
  • Optogenetic Stimulation

TDT’s Fiber Optic kit simplifies the connection between the optical manifold and the RZ10x / iX6 LEDs and photodetectors.  Purchase the 3-color (2 biosensor) or 2-color (one biosensor system and then add on additional optical cables for optogenetic stimulation).
