UCLA Miniscope v4 Features & Properties
***************************************

..  todo::  format this better

To compare the UCLA Miniscope v4 to other miniscopes sold by Open Ephys, refer to the :ref:`overview/miniscopes:Comparison Chart`.

Mechanical Properties:

*   **Mass:** <3g

*   **Dimensions:** 14.5 × 18 × 22.5mm

Optical Properties:

*   **FoV:** 1 × 1mm
