[edit] Microscope Control Software
[edit] Hardware
At the MMVL a Linux software for controlling a Leica DM LAM microscope with a Basler A302fc IIDC/DCAM-compatible firewire camera has been developed.
[edit] Software
[edit] Features
The software uses OpenGL to display the camera image with a high framerate. The software already has the following capabilities:
- Move object table with mouse-dragging
- Camera-display with digital zoom (requires IIDC 1394-based firewire digital camera)
- Display and capture videos:
- Colour images
- Graylevel images
- Edge images (thresholded Sobel)
- Capture focus stacks
[edit] Implementation
The implementation took maybe 15 days. Before being able to develop the application itself, the Mimas-library had to be enhanced with firewire digital camera input, the existing libserial-library had to be enhanced with timing functionality and the required part of the serial communication with the Leica DM LAM microscope had to be implemented under Linux.
[edit] Download
- You need to have
Qt3 and libdc1394 on your computer.
- You need to install
libserial-0.4.1.tar.gz (195 kByte).
- You also need
Mimas-1.4 (12.2 MByte).
- Finally you need to install leica.tar.gz (32 kByte).
