[OpenSPIM] Lightsheet characterization

Dear All,

I had measured the light sheet using 45 degree mirror last week and I had also did a Gaussian fit for it. I will happily share the data with everyone here. Attached are the max intensity projection along x-axis and the FWHM measurement. The max intensity projection shows the light sheet along different x-position as I move the mirror.

Best Regards,

Hi cristian,

I am happy to read that you were fearless and updated.
Basically by simply swapping the cobolt device adapter currently shipping with MM in place  of the one bundled with OpenSpIm solves your issue and showed that it works out-of-the-box.
This is great news as it means no modification of the driver required.
Thanks again for your leap of faith.
You are more adventurous than me.

@luke: this basically answers many of the questions you had, no?

Best,

Alexis

The file seems to indicate that a necessary JAR file is missing for OME-TIFF output -- the most likely candidate is OpenSPIM.app/jars/bio-formats/formats-api-5.0.0.jar (the latest version available through the Fiji Updater).

Our plugin does not currently come with Micro-Manager, so if you download Micro-Manager's latest version from their website, you won't be able to control an OpenSPIM. The Fiji updater, on the other hand, downloads newer versions of the files OpenSPIM relies on.

Hey Jan,

I started a page about light sheet characterization in the wiki, maybe you want to contribute to it?

Dear OPEN-SPIM team,

your website is terrific!
Since a while we are now getting more and more interested in setting up our own SPIM for a multitude of potential applications.
My impression is, that for many purposes a dual color-X-SPIM would be needed.
You show nice pictures on your page of such a system (X-SPIM), but in the parts list the corresponding chamber is not listed.
Do you, in general, sell the parts listed under ?OPEN SPIM? at the prices indicated on your page and do you also distribute the chambers for X-SPIM?

Thanks a lot in advance, looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards, R?diger
