autoMicromanager

autoMicromanager is a super handy toolkit that gives you full control over your microscopy setup. Whether you’re using Labview, Matlab, Scilab, Python, .Net, VB, IgorPro, or Mathematica, this software has got your back! Plus, it comes with its own standalone program for image acquisition and scripting control of scientific microscopes. How cool is that?

This tool works with a bunch of different microscopes and cameras. Here’s the list:

• Leica DMI microscopes


• Leica DMR microscopes (and DMIRBE)


• Nikon TE2000 motorized microscope


• Nikon TI microscope


• Nikon AZ100 Zoom microscope


• Olympus IX81


• Zeiss CAN-bus compatible microscopes (Axiovert 200m, Axioplan2)

Add-ons and Other Features

You can also connect various other devices for even more fun!

• DVC, Scion and Stanford Photonics non-Open Source adapters are available. Just reach out to these companies directly.


• You can use ASI Shutter and Filter Wheel controllers.


• The ASI XY (and Z) stage is there too!


• If you need to control stages with analog voltage – no problem! This needs a DA device.


• Your DA output can act as a shutter too – really handy for things like diode lasers.


• Ludl stages plus shutters and filter wheels work great as well.


• You can connect Mad City Labs MicroDrive/NanoDrive if you've got them.
