OPTICAL STIMULATION & IMAGING SYSTEMS FOR BIOSCIENCES
Our goal is to empower researchers with the technology they need to explore complex biological systems and make new discoveries in neuroscience and cell biology. By making advanced research more accessible, we aim to support breakthroughs that improve our understanding of health and disease.
We develop advanced optical tools for cellular-resolution optogenetics, photostimulation, and imaging tools built with life scientists in mind. From signaling pathways within cells to complex neural circuits in the brain, our technologies help researchers explore the unknown and drive the next wave of breakthroughs in life science and neuroscience.

Customer Success Cases
Targeted Optogenetic Stimulation of Motor and Non-Motor Cortices
Congratulations to Karl Deisseroth on being named a 2026 Nobel Prize laureate in Physiology or Medicine! Their pioneering work in optogenetics has enabled researchers to control neural activity with light and better understand brain function.
We are proud to support research in the Deisseroth lab.
— Isaac V. Kauvar, PhD, Deisseroth Lab, Stanford University
Head-Fixed Single-Cell Calcium Imaging of the Ventral Pallidum with OASIS Fiberscope
“The Mightex OASIS imaging system has been reliable and highly customizable, with seamless integration between the acquisition box, behaviour camera, and PolyScan4 software that enables synchronized calcium imaging and behavioural recording, streamlining our workflow and allowing precise alignment of neural activity with behaviours of interest.”
— Justin G. Wang, Doctoral Trainee in the Kravitz Lab, at Washington University in St. Louis
