Thomas Faraday Cage for Education and Research

Description

The Thomas Faraday Cage is designed for neurophysiologic experiments that require electrical and optical shielding (see figure 1).

The  is designed to be used in neurophysiologic education of undergraduate students as well as for research experiments.

The system consists of a black anodized aluminum cage with a cover at the front side. There are two handles to remove the cover by the user to get access to the recording setup inside the cage (see figure 2).

The  has a special instrument holder with clamping carriers that allow to mount all instrument for a neurophysiologic experiment without problem. Figure 3 shows an example for an insect recording setup consisting of a small animal base plate, a microelectrode manipulator (micro drive), a microscope and a power supply unit for the preamplifier. This is just an example and the system can be modified to the customer´s requirements.
