Sathya,

NIH Image will certainly capture images as TIFF files easily - and it is a
free program (see http://rsb.info.nih.gov/nih-image/). In its standard
form, I don't think you can set a time interval to capture images, but you
should be able to write a macro to do it - have a look at the Image
archives to see if anyone has done it already...

hope that helps,
IAN
