Image-Pro with Scope-Pro<br />

MediaCybernetics’ Scope-Pro microscope control module<br />

works within the Image-Pro family <strong>of</strong> image acquistion<br />

and analysis s<strong>of</strong>tware to form an integrated microscopy<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware package. Scope-Pro directly controls <strong>Mad</strong><br />

<strong>City</strong> <strong>Labs</strong> nanopositioning systems through standard<br />

analog control signals as well as the optional Nano-<br />

Drive ® USB digital computer interfaces.<br />

With all USB enabled Nano-Drive controllers, <strong>Mad</strong><br />

<strong>City</strong> <strong>Labs</strong> provides full access to <strong>Mad</strong>lib.dll, a language<br />

independent DLL which implements an API for communicating<br />

with all Nano-Drive ® C Based Programming Support<br />

products. It may be<br />

used by any programming environment that has support<br />

for importing C functions; e.g. C++, Matlab, Python;<br />

and gives the user the ability to customize their instrumentation<br />

control. A basic example is provided which<br />

demonstrates how to access <strong>Mad</strong>lib.dll.<br />

μManager & ImageJ<br />

µManager is a widely accepted open source s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />

package for controlling microscopes and for image<br />

acquisition. µManager combined with ImageJ, a popular<br />

open source image processing and analysis package,<br />

forms a powerful and adaptable research tool with an<br />

active community <strong>of</strong> users. <strong>Mad</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Labs</strong> contributed<br />

adapters (specialized control s<strong>of</strong>tware) to µManager to<br />

provide direct control <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mad</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Labs</strong> nanopositioning<br />

and micropositioning stages. All s<strong>of</strong>tware can be<br />

downloaded directly from the µManager and ImageJ<br />

Slidebook 5.0<br />

Intelligent Imaging Innovations (3i) latest digital<br />

microscopy s<strong>of</strong>tware, Slidebook 5.0, provides analog<br />

motion control signals for single axis and XY-axis<br />

nanopositioning systems.<br />
