Quick overview

We have two UCLA miniscopes

We purchased them from Open Ephys and this is the general documentation for it all (including Bonsai) Open Ephys Miniscopes.

There's a few online resources that you can scour to see if people had a similar problem (and then hopefully a solution).

• Original UCLA Miniscope wiki
• UCLA Miniscope Google Group
• UCLA Miniscope v4 Github
