Description
The Sutter Resonant Scanner system is a general purpose resonant scan box and controller using the industry standard Cambridge Technologies CRS 8kHz resonant scanner for fast X scanning and a second Cambridge galvo scanner (6215 5mm) for Y axis scanning. The scan box is sealed to keep the system quiet and the package allows full frame scanning at up to 30 frames per second (actual values software dependent). Unlike other resonant systems designed to be used with proprietary hardware and/or software, the Sutter resonant scan box and its connections to the outside world are intentionally generic.
Two versions of the scan box are currently available:
- RESSCAN-MOM - a version that fits in the standard scanner location in the MOM® and can be purchased either with a new MOM or used to field convert an existing MOM
- RESSCAN-GEN - a generic version compatible with 60mm cage systems. This version of the resonant scan box was designed for the Janelia Farms MIMMs scope, but will work with any microscope with a scan pathway designed around a 60mm optical cage
