Multiple uses of the hrGRIN lens system. This system can be assembled without the additional glass window to image cortical layers 5–6. This modified version was implanted into GFAP-GFP (green) mice, and used with a vasculature counterstain, Texas red (red) conjugated to dextran. The system can be used in studies where astrogliosis or neovascularization would be of interest. Scale bar denotes 10 µm.
