This software was written for the Zhang group's RPOC and SRS microscopy system, see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-32071-z. It is meant to serve as a general software for microscopy that seamlessly integrates RPOC, to enable more widespread adoption of the technique. With any feedback or suggestions, please reach out to [e-mail].

Basic Installation

The software is available on PyPI - make sure python 3.13 is in use with a virtual environment. Install using:

py -m venv your_env_name
your_env_name/scripts/activate
pip install pyrpoc

For development mode, ensure the code is downloaded/cloned and that you have navigated to root directory of this project (the folder on your system that contains this README.md, the pyproject.toml, and the pyrpoc/ folder), then run

pip install -e .

Once the virtual environment is active, the GUI can be opened with the simple command pyrpoc. If the command does not work, please check your environment variables and ensure that you have set up the virtual environment correctly.
