| Description | ScanImage is imaging software for scanning microscopes developed by Karel Svoboda and coworkers (Pologruto et al, 2003) and judiciously maintained by members of the Svoboda lab, first at CSHL and then at Janelia Farms, HHMI. It is hard to over-estimate the influence of this software in the field of ScanImage is imaging software for scanning microscopes developed by Karel Svoboda and coworkers (Pologruto et al, 2003) and judiciously maintained by members of the Svoboda lab, first at CSHL and then at Janelia Farms, HHMI. It is hard to over-estimate the influence of this software in the field of two-photon scanning microscopy.
ScanImage was designed to be freely available and open source and its early maintenance was “easily” supported. However, as ScanImage became increasingly popular and as new versions were required to cover changes in operating systems and hardware drivers, it soon became obvious that a high level of maintenance could not be sustained based on the “freeware model”. Ultimately, ScanImage support and development has become a commercial enterprise and Vidrio is the new face of ScanImage.
Two-photon microscope development at Sutter Instrument has been closely tied to ScanImage software for years. In addition to the MOM® in vivo two-photon scope, Sutter has many products that are used by two-photon microscopists using ScanImage including our stepper motor drive XYZ controllers, galvo and resonant scanner systems, PMTs and PMT power supplies. We are grateful to have had a mutual, continuing connection to ScanImage and the ScanImage community for over ten years.
Sutter provides hardware that operates seamlessly with all versions of ScanImage. Products can be purchased ala carte or as a bundled system with ScanImage Premium or SI 5....

MScan seamlessly combines two-photon imaging,with photostimulation, behavioral monitoring, and electrophysiology.. While designed expressly for use with the Sutter MOM®, The MOM® Computer System (MCS) includes the acquisition software package MScan 3.0 and the data analysis software MView 3.0. MScan seamlessly combines two-photon imaging,with photostimulation, behavioral monitoring, and electrophysiology.. While designed expressly for use with the Sutter MOM®, it is also compatible with other two-photon platforms. The MCS is designed to take on complex experiments in deep-tissue intravital imaging. Its intuitive user interface, is easy to learn and easy to use. The MCS and MOM together form a formidable tool to understand the most complex issues in neuroscience, immunology or oncology. Importantly, you will find in MCS the same standard of technical excellence and customer support that are the hallmark of all Sutter Instrument products.
