Hey @everyone…
Are you ready to take your microscopy experiments to the next level? Imagine having the ability to automate your imaging process, dynamically adjusting the microscope’s position based on real-time image analysis. With the powerful combination of the openUC2 microscope and the ImSwitch software, this is no longer a dream but a reality!
In our latest tutorial, we walk you through setting up a smart microscopy workflow that follows a line based on image processing results. Whether you’re a seasoned researcher or a hobbyist, this guide provides you with the essential tools to get started with basic image processing in a closed-loop experiment.
What Will You Learn?
- Setting Up ImSwitch: Learn how to get ImSwitch up and running, ensuring you can communicate seamlessly with your microscope.
- Image Acquisition and Processing: Discover how to snap images, create background images, subtract them, and compute edges using the Canny filter.
- Dynamic Stage Movement: Understand how to use the Hough transform to find straight lines, calculate the mean orientation, and determine the next XY coordinates for your microscope to move.
- Closed-Loop Experimentation: Follow a complete pipeline that allows your microscope to dynamically adjust its position based on image analysis results and return to its initial position after the experiment.
Feel free to share your experiences, ask questions, and collaborate with others in this forum. Together, let’s push the boundaries of what’s possible with smart microscopy!
