scanpatterns 0.0.1

Parametric patterns for laser scanning microscopy

PyScanPatterns

Parametric scan patterns for laser scanning microscopy.

Galvo drive signals, line camera/PMT exposure triggers, and frame/digitizer triggers are generated given a scan type and parameters.

Installation

pip install scanpatterns

Patterns

So far, the following patterns are implemented:

• Raster scan
• Raster scan with repeated A-lines
• Raster scan with repeated B-lines
• Figure-8 scan
• Rhodonea rose scan with any number of petals

Patterns are created by calling the generate method of any LineScanPattern instance.

The resultant scan signals can be accessed via the x, y, line_trigger and frame_trigger properties.
