microscope 0.6.0

An interface for control of microscope devices.

Python’s microscope package is a free and open source library for:

• control of local and remote microscope devices

• aggregation of microscope devices into complex microscopes

• automate microscope experiments

It is aimed at those that are building their own microscopes or want programmatic control for microscope experiments.

This package does not provide a graphical user interface that a typical microscope user would expect. Instead, it provides the foundation over which such interfaces can be built. For a microscope graphical user interface consider the sister project Microscope-Cockpit.

Microscope is distributed as a source distribution in PyPI and can be easily installed with pip:

pip install microscope

Alternatively, the development sources are available on github.
