Description

This project consists of prototype headplate components designed to adapt intravital imaging workflows for use with an inverted microscopy setup. The assembly includes four individual parts that function together as a custom imaging fixture to support experimental testing and optimization of the imaging platform.

Two sets of the components were fabricated to provide duplicate parts for evaluation, troubleshooting, and future testing. Color and cosmetic appearance were not critical requirements for this prototype, however biocompatible material is recomended. The printed components will be used to assess fit, functionality, and overall performance before further design refinement or implementation in research studies.
