Acquisition Speed Comparison of MetaMorph, NIS Elements, Micro-Manager
How fast can a typical imaging system really run? What factors affect this? While most research might not require rapid sequential capture, almost all experiments can benefiet from tight exposure/illumination timing, yet few microscope users are aware of timing delays injected into experiments by the control software they are using. So how much delay is…

One of the downsides to using OSX for my primary operating system is that most of the major imaging programs are windows-only. To compound the trouble, many of these programs, like NIS Elements, use the “HASP” license manager to communicate with a security key in order to fight piracy. So, you have to have this…

I’ve been receiving reports that images saved using NIS Elements V4 are not always opening under the typical plugins used for Fiji and/or Image J. If you plan on running a big set of acquisitions I recommend testing a few images before moving forward. In the meantime saving or exporting to TIFF should be a…
