Lickometer w/Photobeam Controller

  • Places the sipper tube behind a “V” plate so that the animal is forced to lick for liquid delivery
  • An infrared photobeam is placed between the stainless steel plate and the sipper tube to accurately count each beam break by the tongue.
    • NOTE: This count may be much less than the count provided by the “light pipe” configuration where any part of the snout can break the beam. We do not recommend substituting one for the other in an ongoing study.
  • This unit may be preferred to the contact lickometer in applications using scrambled foot aversive stimulation

NOTE: Lickometer uses a 1/4 panel, and the controller uses a 1/8 panel. To fill the empty space with the fewest panels, use a 1/2 and 1/8 panel.
