Rodent rotation and translation stage (RRaTS)

Project Overview

Problem Statement:

Research of mammalian retinal photoreceptors, conducted via the imaging of rodent model organisms, requires precise alignment of the specimen. A device providing facile alignment of rodent eyes within the imaging system’s field of view as well as rotational freedom for accessibility to a holistic view is called for. This device must provide at least 2 rotational degrees of freedom, pitch and yaw, as well as 3 translational degrees of freedom in the x, y and z directions for the positioning of the eye at the intersection of the rotational axes.
