Glass plug optics and placement in the brain. (a) Removal of a 1.5-mm-diameter cortical region above hippocampus would normally result in significant clipping of rays from high-numerical aperture objectives. (b) The higher refractive index of the plug prevents the clipping of rays by cortical tissue and maximizes the available numerical aperture.
