PYMEAcquire - Instrument control and simulationΒΆ
PYMEAcquire is a general purpose microscope control and data acquisition platform with several features which make it well suited to localisation microscopy. These include:
- Support for commonly used hardware (eg Andor EMCCD cameras)
- Streaming to disk of large data series
- Acquisition protocols which allow various interactions with the hardware (eg controlling laser power) to occur at predetermined timepoints within an acquisition
- Tight integration with the real-time analysis tools
The basic usage should (hopefully) be relatively straight forward given some familiarity with other microscope control packages. Certain aspects, however deserve further description:
