Voltage-sensitive dye imaging of in-vivo mouse with MiCAM ULTIMA.
This data was obtained from a 2 month-old mouse that was under urethane anaesthesia (1.75 g/kg). A heating pad was used to maintain the measured body temperature of the mouse at 37°C. Two electrodes were inserted under the skin of the forearms to receive the electrocardiogram signal which was used to trigger the MiCAM ULTIMA acquisition.
