Linear 8-Shank 64-Channel Probe, 10 mm
Sites spread along the shank — linear and edge layouts for depth profiling
Eight long shanks side by side, closely spaced for coverage within one structure, with sites spread evenly down each, one per row, for a profile across depth. Among the 371 probe designs in the design space it is mid-range: 64 sites (a common choice — 68 of 369), 10 mm shanks (a common choice — 79 of 363), a 1.43 mm-deep site array (63rd percentile), 31 sites/mm² (11th percentile) and a 1.86 mm³ neural interface (89th percentile).
Large sites read a wider patch at lower impedance, suited to field potentials and multi-unit activity, spaced widely to span a structure rather than resolve within it. The long shanks reach deep targets.
Orders as a probe-plus-package assembly, in 22 package configurations, 3 of them microdrive-compatible. Silicon 50 µm thick. Z-coat available. Optical stimulation runs from a separate laser or LED source. Research use only.
