Adapters for the X-Headstage

Adapters for the X-Headstage

The X-Headstages utilize ultra small connectors that are designed with minimal footprint as the primary objective.  Thus they may not directly interface with the electrodes (check out KONTEX's EIB or NeuroNexus X-Series probe package) but KONTEX offers several off-the-shelf adapters designs for commonly used neural connectors. The adapter based approach offers the added benefit of prolonging the life time of the headstage, whose probe connector pin can break after repeated use, by easily replacing the probe adapter (instead of throwing the entire headstage away).
