microManager

microManager controls automated microscopes and coordinates image acquisition for experiments requiring time-lapse, multi-channel, and z-stack imaging.

Key Features:

• Compatibility: Supports integration with microscopes from Leica, Nikon, Olympus, and Zeiss, and with scientific-grade cameras and peripherals such as stages, filter wheels, and shutters.
• Image Acquisition Strategies: Enables time-lapse imaging, multi-channel imaging, z-stacks, and combinations thereof for customizable acquisition protocols.

Scientific Applications:

• High-throughput imaging: Facilitates large-scale image acquisition workflows that require coordinated control of microscopy hardware.
• Live-cell imaging: Provides precise temporal control for repeated imaging of living cells over time.
• Developmental biology: Supports spatiotemporal imaging of specimens requiring detailed temporal and spatial resolution.
