Micro-Manager permits the precise and rapid triggering of sequences of channels and focus positions by the camera.
Channels
LED illuminators and AOTF-based laser combiners both have very fast switching times, and are thus prime candidates for hardware synchronization.
Focal drives
Piezo z stages move rapidly enough such that a sequence of z positions can be synchronized with a camera running at tens of frames per second.
Controller Devices that currently support Triggered Sequences
- AgilentLaserCombiner -- Laser channel switching
- Arduino -- TTL and DAC output states
- ASIStage -- ASI piezo focus drives
- ESIOImagingControllers -- AOTFs (laser combiners) and piezo focus drives
- Marzhauser (TANGO controller) -- Marzhauser piezo focus drive
