Mightex’s optogenetics starter kits are ready-to-use turn-key solution for ChR2 stimulation, and they feature super-high output power (up to 7.2mW with a 200µm fiber) and ultra-low power variation (<2%) during rotation. The optogenetics starter kit is typically composed of the following items:
- A 470nm fiber-coupled LED source (P/N: BLS-FCS-0470-100);
- An LED controller module;
- A fiber-optic rotary joint with SMA connector on one end and ceramic ferrule on the other, or a fiber-optic patch cord with SMA connector on one end and ceramic ferrule on the other;
- Two (2) mating sleeve for ferrule or cannula; and
- Four (4) implantable fiber optic cannula (two 5mm in length and two 10mm in length).
Mightex’s optogenetics starter kits can be summarized in the chart below.

 | Software/TTL The BLS-SA02/04-US controller features simple software GUI, a one-stop interface to operate the LED sources in constant intensity, pulse, or external TTL triggered mode. 20µs minimum pulse width and up to 25kHz modulation frequency and TTL triggered operation for fast switching between different LED wavelengths, making this option an ideal choice for working with electrophysiology rig. BLS-SA02/04-US is also ideal for synchronization of light pulse with camera by using TTL signal. more |
 | Manual/Analog The superfast BLS-1000-2 and BLS-3000-2 controllers feature a modulation frequency of up to 100kHz using external analog control. Researchers can take full potential of solid-state LED’s speed to meet all their need for superfast modulation of illumination. Output waveform can be completely arbitrary since it is driven by analog signal. Two precise manual control dials offer on the unit simple access to constant intensity. Switches on the front panel are used to conveniently select between manual and analog signal control. more |
