[OpenSPIM] Shutters for T-SPIM

[Luke Stuyvenberg]

Hi Neil,

I'm afraid I'm mostly guessing at details; Pete Pitrone at MPI probably knows more, but here's my best answers:


1. It looks like a Melles Griot SafeClose shutter, 04LSC001
2. 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.
3. The prototype did, but one day it levitated through the ceiling and left for outer space. We haven't heard from it since, and attempts to reproduce the behavior have so far been met with no success. ;-)


Hope this helps!
Luke
