PyPi Docs Python package Paper

MagScope is a Python-based application for live data acquisition and analysis in magnetic tweezers microscopy.

  • Fast, high-throughput, and high-resolution
  • GUI - includes a clean simple GUI (Graphical User Interface)
  • Demo - Launches by default with a simulated camera so you can try it without microscope hardware connected
  • Automation - Create simple Python scripts to automate data-collection and motor movement for long/complex experiments.
  • XYZ-Lock - Enable XY- and/or Z-Lock to keep beads centered and in focus for long experiments
  • Customizable - Easily add your lab's hardware and implement custom features
  • CPU or GPU tracking of beads via MagTrack
