  Description     : Microscopy Software

 µManager is a software package for control of automated microscopes. It lets
 you execute common microscope image acquisition strategies such as time-lapses,
 multi-channel imaging, z-stacks, and combinations thereof. μManager works with
 microscopes from all four major manufacturers (Leica, Nikon, Olympus and
 Zeiss), most scientific-grade cameras and many peripherals (stages, filter
 wheels, shutters, etc.) used in microscope imaging (check the list of supported
 hardware). Since μManager runs as a plugin to ImageJ, image analysis routines
 are available within the application.
 .
 Unencumbered code provides a GUI for microscope image acquisition, a hardware
 interface layer and hardware interfacing for:
  - ASI stages, filter wheels and shutters
  - Arduino
  - Conix filter changer
  - Velleman K8055 and K8061 digital IO boards
  - Leica DMI microscopes
  - Ludl shutters, stages and filter Wheels
  - Nikon TE2000 microscope
  - Physik Instrumente stages
  - Pecon stage incubators
  - Prior shutters, stages and filter wheels
  - Spectral LMM5 laser controller
  - Sutter shutters, filter wheels and DG4
  - Vincent Uniblitz shutters
  - Yokogawa spinning disk confocal CSU22 and CSUX
  - Zeiss microscopes (two 'generations')
  - iidc1394 compatible cameras (through libdc1394)
