1. Resource Description

   MegaCapture is a VisualBasic macro developed by Sean Megason for automating the acquisition of in toto image sets. It is useable on Zeiss microscopes using LSM v4.x software (pre-Zen). MegaCapture can automatically acquire image sets across any combination of dimensions including x, y, z, time, color, x-tile, y-tile, row, and column. Images are exported on the fly and can be compressed allowing very large (100,000 images) image sets to be captured. This software and all sofware from the Megason Lab is licensed under the BSD style open-source license, and as such can be freely used and modified without permission by anyone. We do appreciate attribution (e.g. citation) in resulting papers.
