Micro-Manager

Micro-Manager started out as an application to control microscope hardware, such as cameras, xy-stages, filter wheels, etc. It includes a hardware abstraction layer written in C++ that is now used in several projects including the original user interface written in Java that is distributed as an ImageJ plugin.

Python compatility

Several projects provide access to Micro-Manager code from Python. Pycro-manager creates an interprocess bridge between the "classical" Micro-Manger running in a Java Virtual Machine and Python. Pymmcore exports the MMCore interface directly to Python. Pymmcore is used by various Python packages such as pymmcore-plus, located in a github organization that contains several User Interfaces witten in Python to interface with MMCore (pymmcore-widgets, napari-micro-manager).
