If you have to pay for it, it is commercial and such posts should be 
discouraged.

>>Micro-Manager (http://micro-manager.org 
>><http://micro-manager.org/>) is Open Source software for microscope 
>>image acquisition.  It controls a large number of scientific grade 
>>cameras, microscopes and peripherals and lets you take snapshots, 
>>do time-lapses, z-stacks, and multi-channel images.  It runs as an 
>>ImageJ plugin and works under the Windows, Mac and Linux OSs. 
>>Micro-Manager is being developed at the Vale lab at UCSF supported 
>>by a grant from the NIH.
>>
>>We are planning on having a microscope setup consisting of a 
>>Yokogawa spinning disk confocal, Hamamatsu EM camera, Solamere 
>>laser launch, Zeiss AxioObserver and ASI XY and piezo Z-stage all 
>>run from a Mac Pro using Micro-Manager!  We will be demonstrating a 
>>way to do very fast multi-channel imaging and acquiring Z-stacks 
>>using a hardware solution based on the Arduino micro-controller 
>>(http://www.arduino.cc/). 
>>This is also your chance to meet the new members of the 
>>Micro-Manager team: Oleksiy Danikhno (who joined us last week) and 
>>Arthur Edelstein (who will start in January). 
>>Of course, our main goal is to meet you, hear about your 
>>experiences with Micro-Manager, your wishes for future development 
>>and everything else you would like to tell us.  It is also a great 
>>opportunity to get personal hands-on training in the use of 
>>Micro-Manager.  If you are running a microscope with Micro-Manager, 
>>tell us at the meeting and we might have a Micro-Manager T-shirt 
>>left for you!
>>
>>Hope to see you there!
>>
>>Best,
>>
