Practical Automation For Your Microscope

The Motion Control extension allows IPLab to control motorized microscope hardware, letting you automate your experiments and image acquisition. Now you can conduct 3D imaging, time lapse imaging, multi-well plate analysis, multifluorescent image acquisition (FISH, gene mapping) and GFP studies, all within one unified software environment!

Hardware controlled by Motion Control includes XY stages and Z-axis focus motors, filter switchers and shutters, and motorized microscopes. Motion Control also drives other, not directly supported, hardware via powerful RS-232 and parallel-port commands. This can give IPLab control over all of your microscope’s motorized hardware. Simple IPLab scripts can then automate your microscope to perform entire imaging experiments for you.
