At lower frame rates, the latency between a fly moving and the laser adjusting can lead to "misses." By pushing our image processing and control logic to 120fps , we reduce this lag significantly. This allows for sub-0.2mm precision, ensuring that the light or heat is applied exactly where intended, whether that's the thorax or the head. bj-full-120fps.mp4

The system operates on a dual-camera setup. A wide-angle camera maintains a lock on the fly's global position within the arena, while a second, high-magnification camera targets specific anatomical regions. By utilizing Thorlabs 2D galvanometers, we can steer a laser to deliver precise optogenetic or thermogenetic stimulation—all while the fly moves freely. : Image results and targeting calculations performed at

: Two cameras (wide-field for tracking and high-magnification for targeting).
