Trinamic + Microscope
Posted: 16.04.2016 05:41
Hi All,
it has taken me way too long, but I finally got around to getting all the bits and pieces I needed to start automating my microscope focus stacking. I ended up getting a Trinamic controller board, and using my own stepper motor since it worked out a lot cheaper than doing the whole Trinamic unit.
I have just started to use it, and have to say I LOVE IT, the software is fantastic to use with the Trinamic controller, and with that and the combination of the live view I don't even bother using the microscope eye peices anymore, all done through the PC.
I have still got to learn how to get the best out of it, and clean my microscope lol but the first one I had a go at was a dark field for Harpacticus.
Well done on a great peice of software!
