Recent developments in miniaturized instrumentation resulted in the design
and fabrication of miniaturized microscopes with high versatility and application in
neurophotonics, using portable miniaturized microscopes and even reduced-size
wireless microscopes incorporated into rodent skulls, allowing different types of signal
tracking and highly valuable information recording from neuro-emitters, ion channel
gates, neuron interactions and other types of brain cells and that based on microscopy
imaging in vivo. Here, we discuss the versatility and state-of-the-art technology of
these miniaturized instrumentations.
