Abstract

Systems and methods for imaging using a microscope system comprising removeable or replaceable component parts. Such systems and methods employ semi-kinetic coupling for easy, tool-free attachment of the microscope system to a baseplate. Discussed systems and methods may include simultaneous imaging and stimulation using a microscope system. The microscope system can have a relatively small size compared to an average microscope system.
