Until recently, PC control and synchronization of scientific instruments was only possible through closed-source expensive frameworks like National Instruments' LabVIEW. Nowadays, efficient cost-free alternatives are available in the context of a continuously growing community of open-source software developers. Here, we report on Tormenta, a modular open-source software for the control of camera-based optical microscopes. Tormenta is built on Python, works on multiple operating systems, and includes some key features for fluorescence nanoscopy based on single molecule localization.
直到最近，科学仪器的计算机控制和同步还只能通过像美国国家仪器公司的LabVIEW这样的闭源昂贵框架来实现。如今，在开源软件开发群体不断壮大的背景下，有了高效的免费替代方案。在此，我们报告Tormenta，一款用于控制基于相机的光学显微镜的模块化开源软件。Tormenta基于Python构建，可在多个操作系统上运行，并且具备一些基于单分子定位的荧光纳米显微镜的关键特性。
