Hi Tom,
Did you check out the open source Micro-Manager project? Its GUI is
ImageJ-based, so you get all that functionality too:
http://micro-manager.org/I suggest checking the list of devices to see whether the hardware you want
to use is supported:
http://micro-manager.org/documentation.php?object=DeviceDirAt this point, with your enthusiasm and experience, you will almost
certainly be able to get something going without needing to code any
acquisition, visualization or analysis software from scratch. If
Micro-Manager won't work for you for some reason, just follow up here with
details and I'm sure people can point you in a good direction from there.
Good luck,
Curtis
