Cranial Window Glass

Cranial window glass is often used for in vivo neuron research in awake animal calcium imaging to achieve long-term, real and stable neurological function observation.

Instructions for use: Open a window in the skull just above the target brain area (use a cranial drill + trephine). After bonding the cranial window glass with a metal ring material (such as titanium alloy), use glue to further connect the metal ring to the skull window. Peripheral bonding to seal the cranial window. After the animal recovers, the skull glass maintains good light transmittance, and the animal can be observed for long-term and multiple times of neuronal activity.

Select the size: The thickness of the mouse skull is about 0.5MM, and the thickness of the rat skull is about 0.8-1MM, so choose cranial window glass with thicknesses of 0.5MM and 0.8MM respectively; the diameter depends on the size of the window, and the common range is 3-8MM.

Our company customizes according to customer needs: the size and thickness of the cranial window glass, and the thickness customization range starts from 0.1 mm.
