CBI-MMTools: Micro-manager Microscopy Synchronized Camera and Illumination Control Tools

Description

CBI-MMTools is a set of plugins, device adapters and libraries for the operation of microscopy platforms using Micro-Manager.

CBI-MMTools is a set of tools designed for the Micro-Manager microscopy software. It provides libraries, plugins and drivers to control various acquisition devices (i.e. LED illumination, light-camera synchronization, 4D motorized stage control). This allows to implement diverse acquisition methods that require precise hardware control. These tools have been integrated in the custom OpenSPIM microscopy platform at Idiap Research Institute.
