Important to be very careful about ambient light. Definitely email for specific info, and I can connect you to first author Michelle, too.

Network-level encoding of local neurotransmitters in cortical astrocytes - Nature A study investigates subcellular, single-cell and network-level comunication within the astrocyte network in response to the two major neurotransmitter inputs.

We used it extensively for astrocyte stimulation here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Norepinephrine links astrocytic activity to regulation of cortical state - Nature Neuroscience The authors show that norepinephrine signaling to astrocytes in the mouse visual cortex acts as a separate neuromodulatory pathway that regulates the effects of arousal on neuronal activity and cortic...
