ScanImage is an application for controlling a laser scanning microscope. The application was first released in 2003 and the original version (r3.0) is described in Pologruto et al., Biomedical Engineering Online, 2003.
The latest versions ScanImage 5.1 and ScanImage 2015 are based upon the concept of flexible hardware support including support for multiple scanhead hardware from, Scientifica, Sutter Instruments and ThorLabs.
Data acquisition and control hardware is based upon the powerful National Instruments FlexRIO platform which includes on board FPGA processing for real-time analysis applications.
