Colour IIDC-Compatible Cameras in Micro-Manager

Andy Weller
Dear all,

We are very interested in investing in a new camera to something that is
truly 'transparent' as far as its operation is concerned (manual and
automated capture, and Win, Lin, Mac, etc).

We were therefore interested in Micro-Manager's capability in running
and operating IIDC-compatible cameras:
http://valelab.ucsf.edu/~nico/MMwiki/index.php/Dc1394

However, we would like to do colour image analysis and are concerned
that "Color images [in Micro-Manager] ... are converted to gray-scale
images within the adapter (useful until the day that Micro-Manager
starts supporting color cameras)".

Does anyone know if this is in the pipeline?

How easy would it be to implement this?

Can the Micro-Manager code be 'cannibalised' so that it could run in IJ
AND in colour mode?

As ever, any thoughts, ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Andy
