Linear 8-Shank 64-Channel Probe, 5 mm
Sites spread along the shank — linear and edge layouts for depth profiling
Eight mid-length shanks side by side, 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 in the upper quartile: 64 sites (a common choice — 68 of 369), 5 mm shanks (a common choice — 107 of 363), a 2.11 mm-deep site array (81st percentile), 21 sites/mm² (7th percentile) and a 2.5 mm³ neural interface (93rd percentile).
Small sites read a local patch at higher impedance, sharpening single-unit isolation, spaced widely to span a structure rather than resolve within it. The mid-length shanks reach structures a few millimetres down.
Orders as a probe-plus-package assembly, in 3 package configurations. Silicon 50 µm thick. Z-coat available. Research use only.
