We have just made available release 1.1 of Micro-Manager at

Micro-Manager (http://micro-manager.org) is Open Source software for
microscope image acquisition.  It controls a large number of scientific
grade cameras, microscopes and peripherals and lets you take snapshots, do
time-lapses, z-stacks, multi-channel, and multi-position imaging.  It runs
as an ImageJ plugin and works under the Windows, Mac and Linux OSs.  
Micro-Manager is being developed at the Vale lab at UCSF supported by grants
from the Sandler Foundation.

Release 1.1 brings the following new features:
- Multi-position imaging
