Automated Capture and Save script for Micro-Manager
I wrote this for a client, but figured others could make use of it. This code simply captures a number of images as defined by the user, and saves them to the specified folder without displaying them. This is useful if you don’t want all of the images open in memory during a timelapse. Simple […]

Arduino Mega 2560 Comparator
So I needed to set up an Arduino Mega as a signal processor. I had a sawtooth signal coming from a device, and I wanted to convert that signal to a 0/5V TTL signal. Now, with something like a sine or sawtooth wave, the question becomes, “At what point do I want to consider this […]

ImageJ Counting Macro for Known Field Values
Here’s a simple method to deal with varying intensities in a large run of images, assuming you have a known number of cells in a field. If I assume I should see, say, more than X cells per area, I can adjust my threshold to slowly increase it’s aggressiveness until that minimum counted value is […]

This is the easiest way to view and relate multi-channel data, but when converting the images for export to other programs, it cam become a problem. In the image […]

On the other hand, the open source application “DigiCamControl“, worked perfectly. Now, as far […]

What can programming macros do for me?
I’ve been running into a lot of programming applications lately. The fun part about using the Elements (or other) programming system is the amount of utility and flexibility it can offer to end users. Most people think about programming in our industry only as it relates to image analytics. I wanted to point out some […]
