Morgentau M1

Our software application, the microscope software Morgentau M1, allows comfortable controlling high-end microscope systems with an ordinary computer: controlling XYZ-stages, autofocus, time lapse, photostimulation capabilities and many other features.

Morgentau Solutions offers software solutions for researches who seek to leverage their existing microscope setups (i.e., microscope shifting tables of Luigs & Neumann). Usually, a high degree of precision or comfort can only be achieved by slowing down research operations. Morgentau M1 tackles this trade-off and jointly offers a maximum in precision, comfort, speed, and documentation capabilities:

New Experiments. Conduct entirely new research like mapping experiments, photostimulation experiments, scanning experiments etc.
Add External Devices. For example, connect a laser or a flash light for stimulation or mapping experiments.
Autofocus. Intuitive autofocus of Z-axis allows for even more flexibility; control XYZ- or XY-stages.
Time Lapse. Time lapse video microscopy function simultaneous on multiple coordinates.
Easy Navigation. Computer navigation with your existing microscope system.
Precision and Comfort. High precision and comfort, with an easy-to-use computer interface.
Speed up Work. Speed up your scientific work to save valuable time.

Efficiency and comfort

The microscope software Morgentau M1 contains a multitude of innovative features, which increases both researchers' efficiency and their comfort. These benefits mainly stem from the following features: improved orientation, easier navigation, better automation, an intuitive user interface, and automated documentation capabilities.

Entirely new experiments

Morgentau M1 provides researchers with various tools that allow conducting completely new kinds of research projects that have not been possible before. Such experiments, for example, are time-critical experiments that are not feasible without the support of the software Morgentau M1.

Complement your existing microscope setup within minutes

The microscope software Morgentau M1 connects several research components such as a shifting table, a camera, a laser, various patch-clamps to an ordinary computer. These components are integrated in an easy-to-use software interface. Luigs & Neumann microscope setups can be used simply by connecting the shifting table to the computer via (1) the USB port (or the serial port) port of the shifting table, and (2) the BNC cable of the camera (CCIR/PAL). The optimized computer, that comes pre-installed with our software, contains all necessary computer-internal hardware equipment and guarantees you both a quick and easy implementation.

Applicability in various research areas

The microscope software Morgentau M1 is of interest in every research area dealing with cells and/or objects regarding the size of cells. In particular, this also includes experiments with living objects or experiments relying on fluorescence chemicals. Morgentau M1 can be used in the following exemplary research areas: neuroscience, polymer research, physiology, biophysics, neuropharmacology, cell biophysics, ophthalmology. Of course, the software is also applicable other related research areas such as materials research.

Examples and research situations

A collection of research examples and situations illustrate the applicability and benefit of the microscope ssoftware Morgentau M1, e.g. as a laser photostimulation system to analyze brain circuits.
