Backlight unit

Combined infrared (IR) and white light array Infrared wavelength (typical): 950 nm D - System specifications According to published research, zebrafish are sensitive to infrared light, though not above 910 nm. See Shcherbakov et al. 2013, PLoS

ONE 8(5): e64429. The IR light provided by DanioVision is therefore

unlikely to affect the fish's behavior. White light color temperature (typical): 5500ºK White light level controllable via USB (EthoVision XT). Intensity range: 0 to ±10000 lux (light level measured directly at the bottom of the water basin). With the standard White Light settings, the light intensities of the white light are approximately:

note If you set the Low Light switch to L (low), the highest light

level (100%) is around 20 lux. See configure the daniovision

white light on page 36 for more information.

note Light intensity in DVOC-0041 can be set higher than in DVOC-

40. Here the reference values if you have DVOC-0040: You may want to replicate light conditions that you set in DanioVision DVOC-0040 in a new experiment with DanioVision DVOC-0041. For example, if you set light intensity to 50% in
