Rodent rotation and translation stage (RRaTS)

Project Overview

While doing research on photoreceptors in the retina of an eye, images are frequently viewed through a stationary device. In order to view all of the photoreceptor cells, the eye or viewing device needs to rotate with 5 degrees of freedom. The team’s objective is to create a stage to hold a human eye or rodent which allows translational and rotational movements while keeping the viewing device focused on the pupil.
