OctopusLite

WORK IN PROGRESS Please note, this is not the full repository (yet)

OctopusLite is a simple script based timelapse acquisition system. It uses other open-source hardware control software for image acquisition and some hardware synchronisation. Mostly takes care of stage control for long timelapse experiments. Integrates with other real-time image processing software (such as Sequitr and BayesianTracker) via RPC, to enable remote (automated) control over image acquisition.

TODO

  • Read/Set stage parameters from stage controller object
  • Automatic placement of FOVs on microplates
  • Better hardware triggering of light sources
  • Finalise RPC control protocol
