[OpenSPIM] Camera for OpenSPIM

[Robert Hauschild]

Hi Johannes,

I already tried ORCA R2 + DCAM+ Win7 + micromanager SPIM plugin and it 
works.
(Mind you that I have not tested the complete SPIM setup with Win7. Just 
the camera).
I probably can tell you in January if and what kind of problems I 
encountered using the R2 + Win7 for the SPIM setup.

Robert
