Longitudinal migration tracking of fluorescent stem cells in vivo in the mouse brain

Neurological endoscope system incorporating special and/or more GRIN lenses to increase field of view in lateral ventricle of mouse brain.

Project Overview

We are looking to develop an endoscopic system to increase the lateral field of view of stem cell movement in the lateral ventricle of a mouse brain. This could be accomplished by implementing multiple lens laterally, or implementing a specially designed elongated lens to increase the imaging area. However, this project lies far outside of our area of expertise, both in experience and technicality, so project goals may be revised to a simpler analysis of mechanical endoscopic motion in a simulated matrix.
