If the QCam SDK supports that camera, and it is a monochrome camera,  
it is likely to work with Micro-Manager.  The next version of Micro-
Manager (beta to be released early next year) will support color  
cameras.

I am not routinely supplying linux builds, since there are too many  
linux versions to build for, and it would take a substantial amount  
of effort to supply a linux download that will work in most  
circumstances.  However,  quite a number of people (myself included)  
have build Micro-Manager on  linux, and if there are any problems  
with the supplied instructions, just ask.  I have never build the  
QCam adapter on linux though, will try that next week or so if you  
are interested.

Testing will always help!

Best,

Nico
