An improved version of the GCaMP genetically encoded calcium indicator, called GCaMP3, has higher calcium affinity and increased baseline fluorescence, dynamic range and stability. GCaMP3 performs better than existing genetically encoded calcium indicators in several assays and organisms, including in vivo imaging of neuronal signaling in worms, flies and mice.
