Halo-5 Microdrive
Provides up to 5 independently drivable shuttles to position up to 4 tetrodes with 6mm shuttle travel. 1 additional shuttle available for fiber optics or reference electrodes.
Halo-5 Exit Tips interface into the craniotomy and dictate electrode insertion pattern. Custom “half moon” drive screw head and calibrated Turn Tool provide positive, accurate 16 micron depth adjustment. Halo-5 Microdrives seamlessly integrate with Neuralynx’s wired and wireless data acquisition systems for signal recording, and Fiber Mounted LEDs (FLEDs) for optogenetic stimulus.
