v0.0.6 - Enhanced Device Support, File Types, and Documentation

We're thrilled to announce the release of v0.0.6, which includes significant enhancements and new features to improve the functionality and usability of navigate.

What's Changed?

Additional Hardware Support

We have expanded our hardware support to include ASI MCF2000, ASI MS2000, Thorlabs KCube Stepper motors, Photometrics Iris 15B, and Hamamatsu ORCA Fire. These additions significantly broaden the range of devices compatible with navigate, enhancing its versatility for various imaging setups.

New Plugin for MMCore-Based Devices

A new plugin has been developed to enable access to MMCore-based devices from Micro-Manager. This initial release supports MMCore-based stages and shutters, with future updates planned to include additional device classes such as cameras and lasers. This integration simplifies the process of incorporating a wide range of hardware into your imaging workflows.

OME-Zarr Data Source Support

We have included support for writing to the OME-Zarr data source, which enhances data management capabilities by providing a scalable, cloud-friendly format for large imaging datasets.

Documentation Overhaul

Significant updates have been made to our documentation, including:

  • More examples of microscope implementations using navigate.
  • Benchmarks for data writing speeds across different formats.
  • Detailed guides on adding new devices.
  • Instructions on using the ilastik plugin for image-based feedback.
  • A comprehensive walkthrough of the software architecture and GUI.
  • And more...

Improved Usability

To streamline adoption, we have created a GUI-based setup wizard and simplified the configuration.yaml file, making it easier for users with little to no programming experience to set up and use navigate.
