A plug-in for real-time histograms in Scanbox

A Scanbox user requested to add the ability to display a histogram of image values in real-time. Here, I use a the general mechanism of memory mapped files in Scanbox to show how easy is to add such “plug-ins” to provide additional functionality to the system. The Matlab code necessary to add real-time histograms in Scanbox is…

Scanbox does 2p-SLM stimulation! (And the mystery of the disappearing cell)

Scanbox is almost ready for in-vivo, two photon stimulation using spatial light modulators!  In our first set of experiments we are are testing the system in SOM cells co-expressing C1V1 and GCaMP6.  Prior to each experiment, we perform a calibration to ensure alignment of the SLM and imaging paths (takes ~3 min).  Cells for stimulation are selected in the same fashion as we define ROIs for…
