not to high jack the thread but... realtive to controlling hardware, anybody using metamorph to run the Prairie Swept field confocal? ..

Hi List,
To follow up on Alison's point. Controlling hardware with MetaMorph can
be really powerful. While it can do all the normal capture
(multi-channel, time lapse etc.) you have all the power of the journal
function available too. We have managed to setup journals that take
overview scans of four slides, let the user draw a box around the
tissue(s) of interest and it will then tile scan each of those areas
without any further user intervention. You can also setup journals to
change objectives etc during a time lapse as well. The possibilities are
virtually endless.
And as Alison says the support is great from the guys at MM. I haven't
had a question they can't answer yet (must try harder).
Cheers
Cam

Hi Michelle,
We use both programs here - for acquisition as well as analysis. I
agree with much of what has been said so far, but I would like to add
one other great thing about MetaMorph on the acquisition side - it is
extremely flexible when it comes to controlling new hardware, in fact
the guys at the company have written at least three new drivers for
different cameras or whatever when we have asked for their help. The
larger companies, such as Nikon, will probably write the necessary
drivers eventually but I have been very impressed by the speed of
response from the MM guys.
All the best,
Alison
