At the MMVL a Linux software for controlling a Leica DM LAM microscope with a Basler A302fc firewire camera has been developed.
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
- 640x480 Camera-display with digital zoom
- Display and capture videos:
- Colour images
- Graylevel images
- Edge images (thresholded Sobel)
- Capture focus stacks
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.
