This is a piece of crap
By IHateLeicaAcquire (Pcmac user)
Don't waste your time downloading this app. It crashes continually and only ocationally communicates with the scope.

Takes start up time, but it works
By Brian STL (Pcmac user)
I use this app for imaging C. elegans, and I had to spend my first week with the software measuring microns/pixel (this can be done automatically with the PC version), and troubleshooting why the image acquistion time was so inconsistent (between 4 and 40 seconds: the culprit was the auto Exposure/Gain function in Live Video mode). It seems that the average image acquistion time for this software is ~6 seconds even without auto exposure. If that could be cut in half, I’d be happy, and half again I’d be ecstatic. It’s fine, but make sure you have someone in the lab running the PC version so you can see what the program should be like.
