A Novel Optical Design Enabling Lightweight and Large Field-of-View Head-Mounted Microscopes

We present a novel fluorescence microscope light path that enables imaging, during free behavior, of thousands of neurons in mice and hundreds of neurons in juvenile songbirds. The light path eliminates traditional illumination optics, allowing for head-mounted microscopes that have both a lower weight and a larger field-of-view (FOV) than previously possible. Using this light path, we designed two microscopes: one optimized for field-of-view (∼4 mm FOV; 1.4 g), and the other optimized for weight (1.0 mm FOV; 1.0 g).
