Sub-pixel alignment in bidirectional scanning mode

When imaging at low magnification in bidirectional mode cells can be small, with a diameter of ~6 pixels or so.  In this and other situations the mechanism offer by the ncolbi variable to align even and odd lines may prove too coarse for optimal alignment. We added a new variable to the configuration file, named…

Latest Scanbox Release brings cool performance improvements

The latest Scanbox release brings a major performance improvement.  The main bottleneck in the acquisition loop consists of a function that re-arranges the incoming pixel stream into the images that are displayed and stored in real-time. This function now makes use of OpenMP to distribute the work among different physical cores available in your machine…
