μManager is being developed by Arthur Edelstein
and Nico
Stuurman in the laboratory
of Ron
Vale at the
University of California San Francisco.
Initial software development and architecture was by Nenad Amodaj. Major contributions to the source code have been made by 100xImaging. Many companies and individuals have contributed code for device control, including ABS Cameras, ASI, Andor, Mad City Labs, Physik Instrumente, Stanford Photonics, PCO, QImaging, Karl Bellve, Peter Topor, Ji Yu, Brian Ashcroft, Jeffrey Kuhn, and Roy Wollman.
The project was
initially funded by grants from the Sandler Foundation and is now supported by a grant from the NIH.
Micro-Manager is built by extensively using other open source
components and applications:
Especially important precursor contributions for our project are
from Wayne Rasband (ImageJ) and from Joachim Walter for his Image5D
plugin which we
extended and used for the multi-dimensional acquisition display.
Development of μManager has only been possible thanks to the
endurance of our early beta-testers, i.e. several members of the Vale
lab (Eric Griffis, Andrew Carter, Goghta Goshima and others). Many
thanks to Kurt Thorn and the Nikon Imaging Center at UCSF for help, testing, great ideas and suggestions. We are grateful
for support (in the form of documentation, information, and/or use of
equipment) from many microscope hardware vendors, including ASI, Andor,
DVC, Stanford Photonics, Hamamatsu, Prior, Solamer, Nikon, and Zeiss.
And of course, many thanks Ron for making it all happen.
