[OpenSPIM] obis laser

[pitrone]

Hello Michael,

We did use OBIS for a few months due to a defective CUBE, and it worked very well… But at the time we did not have it integrated into the plugin, so unless the driver can be merged into it then I cannot make any statement for or against getting one. Otherwise when this merger is accomplished I would say go for it, with the caveat of getting a clean up filter (eGFP excitation of 490/10 or 490/15 ±400 USD/GBP/EUR) along side it.

My $0.02,
Pete
