The AMi-2 Photobeams

Product catalog summary
Overview
The AMi-2 photobeams are designed to generate an invisible infrared beam and detect interruptions. They are versatile tools used in behavioral tests to monitor activities such as animal movement through doors, nose-pokes, and travel distance in corridors.

Details
  • Effective up to 110cm separation.
  • Compatible with the AMi-2 Digital interface.
  • Multiple beams can be used in proximity without interference.
  • Easy mounting with threaded cases for 8mm diameter holes.
  • Water resistant design.

The AMi-2 Photobeams-1

Overview The AMi-2 photobeams generate an invisible infrared beam and detect when this beam is broken. The photobeams can be used in a wide variety of situations in behavioural tests, such as detecting when an animal passes through a • Photobeams plug directly into the AMi-2 Digital interface. • Multiple beams can be mounted close together without cross-beam interference. • Threaded cases make it simple to mount beams in an 8mm (0.3inch) diameter hole. • Water resistant. door, detecting nose-pokes, detecting how far down a corridor the animal has travelled, etc. Details • Work at up to 110cm separation.
