It could be described as a GoogleDocs-type app for data analysis. But that would be a lazy description.
Import your data, code up the analysis and visualization, and then share with collaborators who can view,…
Labrigger covered Sensapex’s tiny manipulators in the past. Since then, Sensapex has broadened their offerings a bit.
My friend Bruno has written some very nice software for Scientifica’s two photon microscope systems. It’s called SciScan.
It’s written in LabVIEW and runs both their conventional galvo and resonant…
