VIDEO – MPM Probe Mount NP2a and Alignment Fixture
In case you missed it – here is a recording of the live demo presented by Aaron Solomon, MPM Project Manager, showing the MPM Probe Mount and Alignment Fixture. This hardware simplifies mounting of Neuropixels probes onto the MPM Multi-Probe Micromanipulator and other manipulators*.
Key points in the video
- How to install and align two Neuropixels 2.0 probes in the new MPM-ProbeMount-NP2a
- How to use the alignment fixture with the MPM-ProbeMount-NP2a
- How to use the alignment fixture with Neuropixels 1.0 probes and the MPM-ProbeMount-1AS “slim”
