Luminos

Luminos enables modular and precisely synchronized control of bidirectional microscopy experiments with microsecond accuracy through hardware-triggered synchronization across stimulation, recording, and imaging channels.

Key Features:

• Bidirectional microscopy control: Supports simultaneous high-speed imaging and patterned optical stimulation.
• Hardware-triggered synchronization: Achieves microsecond accuracy across stimulation, recording, and imaging channels.
• Modular architecture: Provides a MATLAB library structure that facilitates development of bidirectional microscopy methods.

Scientific Applications:

• Optical perturbation studies: Enables targeted optical perturbation of biophysical or biochemical signals including membrane voltage, Ca2+, or signaling molecules.
• Biological signal imaging: Supports imaging of biophysical or biochemical signals during simultaneous stimulation.
• Bidirectional microscopy method development: Facilitates creation of new bidirectional microscopy approaches across the biological sciences.

Methodology:

Luminos implements hardware-triggered synchronization across stimulation, recording, and imaging channels with microsecond accuracy using a modular MATLAB library architecture.
