Hello,
I am currently building the hardware needed for taking high resolution panoramic microscope pictures.
Due to the very small image sector and the very shallow depth of field I need to take hundreds of pictures of each sector, and do that again for each sector. So like a Panorama, but instead of one picture of each sector that is stitched together I have hundreds.
I have two stepper-driven linear tables (X/Y) where the specimen is placed on.
I have another high precision linear table (Z) where the camera is mounted (theoretical Step size ~0.5 micron)
The process would be: Move X/Y/Z in position, take image, (move Z, take image)*200, Then move X one step, repeat....
Would it be easier to adapt CNC/3d-Printer control board and software for that or write a short python program for a raspberry pi?
Thanks
Daniel
