Customisable high-speed optical mapping systems for simultaneous voltage and calcium imaging in cardiac research applications.
The OptoMap platform from Cairn Research delivers high-speed optical mapping with precision optics, synchronised acquisition, and powerful LED illumination for demanding cardiac imaging applications. Designed around the needs of individual experiments, each system can be configured with tailored optics, cameras, and illumination pathways to support simultaneous multi-wavelength imaging and accurate signal separation.
OptoMap systems integrate seamlessly with existing electrophysiology setups and are supported by Cairn Research’s in-house optics expertise, enabling reliable, reproducible acquisition for dynamic cardiac events and advanced optical mapping workflows.
OptoMap systems are designed for advanced cardiac optical mapping applications requiring high temporal precision and reliable signal separation. The platform supports simultaneous voltage and calcium imaging, enabling researchers to study excitation-contraction coupling, conduction dynamics, arrhythmogenesis, and pharmacological responses in isolated heart preparations and tissue models.
Each system is configurable to suit specific experimental workflows, including camera selection, illumination geometry, emission splitting, and synchronised acquisition. The modular design allows integration with existing electrophysiology and perfusion setups while maintaining the flexibility needed for evolving research requirements.
