Metadata Instrument Identifier: ninc-thorlabs-telesto
If you are annotating your data in preparation for data deposit or format conversion (to Neurodata without borders or other file type for long term preservation) please include the above identifier to indicate the data was taken with this instrument.
Paper Acknowledgement Section Suggested text:
If you are publishing your work and have used NINC resources in your project please use the following text including the persistent identifier for NINC (Research Resource ID, RRID):
“This work was supported by resources made available through the Dynamic Brain Circuits cluster and the NeuroImaging and NeuroComputation Centre at the UBC Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health (RRID:SCR_019086).”
Paper Methods Section Example Instrument Description:
To describe the Thorlabs Telesto II: Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging System in your paper’s methods section please modify this example: <Two and/or three> dimensional images were collected on a Thorlabs Telesto II Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging System equipped with super luminescent diode at 1300nm. ”
Please contact Jeffrey LeDue (jledue@mail.ubc.ca) if you need help tailoring the above statement.
Suggested Software:
The NINC Thorlabs Telesto II: Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging System saves images with an “.oct” extension. These are actually .zip files that can be read with Matlab or other software. Images can also be viewed in the Thorlabs software and exported directly to ImageJ.
