64bit OpenSPIM

We are currently refactoring the OpenSPIM plugin, so it works on recent MicroManager versions and 64bit Windows. After this is completed, OpenSPIM will only be a plugin and no specifically-tailored version of MicroManager will be needed.

In the meantime, you can get a nightly build. Please be aware that this build might be not as stable as the already released OpenSPIM version.


 * 1) Installation


 * make sure you have the latest JRE for Java 8 (find it at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html)
 * get the mFiji (MicroManager paired with Fiji) build from http://www.mpi-cbg.de/~gunther/OpenSPIM/mFiji.zip and extract it to some folder on your harddisk
 * get the OpenSPIM plugin from http://www.mpi-cbg.de/~gunther/OpenSPIM/SPIMacquisition.jar and copy it to the _mmplugins/_ folder beneath the mFiji folder


 * 1) Use with Andor sCMOS (Neo and Zyla)

For using Andor's sCMOS cameras, take the following steps:


 * install Andor's Driver Pack (get it here to the directory where you put mFiji
 * disable C-states in BIOS
 * in _Control Center > Power Options > PCI express_ disable _Link state power management_
 * reboot your computer and turn the camera on and off again
