An extension module for a two-photon microscope enables flexible
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Two-photon imaging is essential for revealing the structure, function, and interaction of various cell types. However, conventional two-photon microscopes have limitations in sample accessibility and optogenetic manipulation during imaging. Here, we present Ex2p/Ex2pO, an open-source extension module that adds an objective lens rotation axis and one-photon optical stimulation synchronized with the non-imaging intervals of resonant scanning to a two-photon microscope. The Ex2p/Ex2pO can be seamlessly integrated into existing microscopes by simply replacing the standard objective lens assembly without any modifications. It enables imaging of curved structures while maintaining the subject's natural posture and simultaneous imaging and one-photon stimulation with low crosstalk between stimulation and fluorescent light. We demonstrate one-photon stimulation during two-photon imaging of mice behaving in a virtual reality environment and pluripotent stem cell-derived cortical organoids. Thus, Ex2p/Ex2pO expands the versatility to investigate neural circuit motifs in behaving animals and organoids, enabling all-optical physiology in existing two-photon imaging systems.
