Photometry

Introduction

Plexon’s multi-wavelength photometry system has the capability to deliver multiple

wavelengths of excitation light and the ability to detect multiple wavelengths of emitted

light. The photometry system oers three excitation ranges centered at 560 nm, 465 nm, and

410 nm and two detection ranges centered at 600 nm and 525 nm. The system can monitor

multiple brain regions and track behavior simultaneously, which is useful in studying the

connection between dierent brain regions and the neural correlates of behavior.

Photometry System function

The uorescence of genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs), such as GCaMP

proteins, enables real-time optical monitoring and recording of neural activity of deep

brain structures in behaving animals. This camera-based system includes three built-in

LEDs for excitation and two optical sensors, which allow for detection of green and red

uorescence simultaneously. A branching patch cable provides the user with the ability to

record from multiple brain regions or multiple animals. The system interleaves the 410 nm

and 465 nm LEDS and the camera detecting green uorescence captures light for each of

these wavelengths independently, which allows the user to identify the calcium-dependent

uorescence (isobestic control).

This Quick Start Guide explains how to congure the Plexon® MultiWavelength Multi-ber

Photometry System (Photometry System).

Photometry Hardware Setup

Each researcher will need to evaluate the experimental set up to determine the

optimal location for the placement of the photometry hardware. The multi-

ber patch cable will be connected directly to the photometry module and will need

to be positioned so that the terminating end of this patch cable can be connected to the

subject.

Setup Instructions

1. Verify that the computer is turned o (powered down).

2. Connect the cameras on the Multi-wavelength Multi-ber Photometry Module (9) to the Computer (16)

using the two USB3 cable type A to type B with screwlocks (12).

3. Next, connect the Cameras located on the Multi-wavelength Multi-ber Photometry Module (9) to the

Trigger Box (7) using the two Trigger Box to Photometry Camera cables (11).

4. Now, connect the Multi-wavelength Multi-ber Photometry Box (9) to the Trigger Box via the Trigger Box

to Photometry cable (8).

Photometry Module Trigger Box

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure to plug the cable from camera 1 on the photometry box

into the rst Trigger Box connector. The cable from Camera 2 should be plugged into the

second Trigger Box connector.

5. Connect the Trigger Box (7) to a power source with the AC Power cord (1) and

Power Supply (2).

6. Connect the Trigger Box (7) to the Computer (16) using the USB cable type A to type B (6).

7. Connect the Trigger Box (7) to the Photometry Behavioral Camera (15) using the Trigger Box to

Behavioral Camera Cable (5).

8. Connect the Computer (16) to the Photometry Behavioral Camera (15) using the USB cable type A to

type mini-B (14).

9. Connect the provided keyboard and mouse to the computer.

10. Insert the license key into one of the built in USB ports.

11. Connect the multi-ber patch cable (3) to the Multi-ber Multi-wavelength Photometry Module

(9).

12. Turn on the Trigger Box.

13. You can now turn on the computer and begin.

CAUTION

All system components need to be connected, plus the Trigger Box power switch

needs to be in the “ON” position, before the software starts.

If started rst, the software will not recognize the photometry system hardware and either

will not start or will switch to File mode.
