[OpenSPIM] what shutter would you recommend?

[Frédéric BRAU]

Hi Monika,
We are looking for shutters here for an other application and found this 
one : http://marketplace.idexop.com/store/IdexCustom/PartDetails?pId=396
It's major advantage is that you don't need any controler as it is 
directly TTL driven. So with an Arduino board, or the serial control as 
shutter on Micromanager  it should work directly.
Best regards,
Frédéric
