Preparation of Recording Chamber for Zebrafish Imaging

To begin, prepare a semi-hexagonal tank, a base plate, and a head stage. Place the semi-hexagonal tank on the experimental platform of the microscope. Aim the 810 nanometer infrared light and the camera to the head stage for behavioral recording.

Then, set up an 875 nanometer short-pass filter, and a 700 nanometer long-pass filter in front of the camera to prevent the two-photon laser and the visual stimulus from interfering with behavioral recording. To present the visual stimulus, attach back projection films to the inner side of the three walls of the semi-hexagonal tank. Aim the three projectors at the three surfaces of the tank.
