Hi All,
I am trying to get a Photonics Instruments Mosaic Digital Diaphragm System system working on a Nikon TI Eclipse microscope.
In this configuration, the system is controlled by a macro run from inside Nikon Elements software.
I have tried versions of Elements from 3.1 up to 4.1. The computer is running Windows 7.
These units are used, amongst other things, for FRAP and consist of a 2D array of mirrors.
They work by selectively activating patterns in the array, so regions of a sample can be bleached for FRAP.
The problem I am having is, I can either activate the whole array or none of the array, but not a pattern in the array.
Has anybody encountered a similar problem and know a solution or way of troubleshooting.
Alternately, is there any standalone software that could test the system outside of Elements.
I looked at the list of supported devices for Micro-Manager and can see " Andor Mosaic DMD Projection Device".
Which is a later similar device (Andor possibly bought out Photonics Instruments), but not the device I have?
Regards
