Inscopix provides lightweight, head‑mounted miniscope systems (nVue, nVista, nVoke, nVista 2P) for high‑resolution calcium imaging in freely moving animals. The platforms support single‑ and dual‑color fluorescence, optogenetic stimulation, and multi‑site recordings, and are paired with integrated software that automates data acquisition, processing, and analysis. This enables neuroscience labs and biotech teams to link neural circuit activity to behavior and accelerate therapeutic research.

Problem
Studying neural circuit activity in freely behaving animals is limited by bulky, stationary imaging equipment and the lack of integrated tools for simultaneous multi-color recording, optogenetic manipulation, and data analysis. This hampers the ability to link neural dynamics to behavior and slows therapeutic discovery for neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Solution
Inscopix offers a suite of miniscope systems—including nVue, nVista, nVoke, and nVista 2P—that provide lightweight, head-mounted fluorescence microscopy for real-time calcium imaging in unrestrained animals. The platforms support single- and dual-color imaging, optogenetic stimulation, and multi-site recordings, enabling comprehensive interrogation of neural circuits during natural behavior. Integrated software tools streamline data acquisition, processing, and analysis, turning raw imaging streams into actionable insights. The company also supplies consumables, accessories, and scientific support to guide experiment design through to manuscript preparation, facilitating faster discovery and therapeutic development.
Target Audience
Primary customers are academic neuroscience laboratories and pharmaceutical/biotech research teams that require in vivo neural circuit imaging in behaving animal models.
