I was briefly looking for shutters and as Luke pointed out, it’s a Melles Griot shutter. I did not check for compatibility with Micromanager. There are several possible integrations of double-sided illumination, if you planning to build one of the more advanced configurations. Shutters, AOTF, two lasers, 50/50 splitter. Let us know if you need more advice on that.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Michael<br></div><div data-signatureblock="true"><br></div><div style="padding-top: 5px; border-top-color: rgb(229, 229, 229); border-top-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid;"><div><font face=" 'Calibri', 'Segoe UI', 'Meiryo', 'Microsoft YaHei UI', 'Microsoft JhengHei UI', 'Malgun Gothic', 'sans-serif'" style='line-height: 15pt; letter-spacing: 0.02em; font-family: "Calibri", "Segoe UI", "Meiryo", "Microsoft YaHei UI", "Microsoft JhengHei UI", "Malgun Gothic", "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:pitrone@mpi-cbg.de" target="_parent">pitrone</a><br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, June 2, 2014 2:05 PM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:stuyvenberg@wisc.edu" target="_parent">Luke Stuyvenberg</a><br><b>Cc:</b> <a href="mailto:openspim@openspim.org" target="_parent">openspim@openspim.org</a></font></div></div><div><br></div><div dir=""><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; border-collapse: separate; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">Hello Luke and Niel,</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; border-collapse: separate; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; border-collapse: separate; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">The design renderings were done by Michael Weber for the Nature Methods coorespondence letter.

If the above is correct, this shutter uses a 9V signal to open and closes in the absence thereof; it doesn't have a direct interface to Micro-Manager, but it may be possible through some programmable microcontroller.<br>3. The prototype did, but one day it levitated through the ceiling and left for outer space.
