Dirigo: a future Python alternative to Scanimage?
Over the last 20 years, many microscopes that are capable of resonant scanning two-photon microscopy have converged on using ScanImage, a powerful software package with many strengths but also two …

🔬 New post in the "Introducing Dirigo" series: Worker Products
Products are the way information is carried from node to node along the acquisition pipeline. TBH I'm pretty proud of this system 😀

Introducing Thorlabs' New VantagePro® Resonant Scanner System!
Learn more at https://bit.ly/4qiTwMZ
Ideal for high-speed imaging, this resonant scanner is designed to deflect a laser beam from its original trajectory and continuously scan it over a user-controlled scan angle.

🔬 🔬 New post in the "Introducing Dirigo" series: Unit quantities
Why units matter (think 100 µm vs 100 mm 😬), parsing “400 um”/“8 kHz”/"125 MS/s", expressive types, and unit-checked math.
Dirigo achieves this with a light-weight Pint-inspired layer used everywhere units are relevant.

Just posted Part 1 of a new series on "Dirigo", my design for a very flexible, extensible backend for scientific image acquisition.
I’ll be posting weekly to spark feedback and find collaborators.
This first post covers the intro & high-level design. 👇
