TeleFipho Transmitter Headstage

The TeleFipho Transmitter Headstage is the core of the TeleFipho wireless fiber photometry system, enabling real-time neural activity measurements in freely moving animals. Weighing just 3 grams, it combines the light source, optical filters, photodetector, and battery into a single compact unit—eliminating the need for bulky patch cords that can restrict movement or introduce signal artifacts.

Designed for behavioral neuroscience research, the headstage supports genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) and other fluorescent sensors, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of in vivo experiments. Adjustable excitation LED power and signal offset allow fine-tuning for your specific application.

Key Benefits

• Maximize experimental flexibility – Wireless operation removes cable constraints, allowing a broader range of behavioral assays.

• Capture cleaner data – Reduced mechanical interference and cable-related artifacts.

• Save setup time – Fully integrated optics and electronics simplify installation and operation.

• Adapt to your study – Adjustable LED power and signal offset for experiment-specific tuning.
