[MagScope](https://github.com/7jameslondon/MagScope) is a Python-based application for live data acquisition and analysis in [magnetic tweezers microscopy](https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-3377-9_18). 

* Fast, high-throughput, and high-resolution

* GUI - includes a clean simple GUI (Graphical User Interface)

* Demo - Launches by default with a simulated camera so you can try it without microscope hardware connected

* Automation - Create simple Python scripts to automate data-collection and motor movement for long/complex experiments.

* XYZ-Lock - Enable XY- and/or Z-Lock to keep beads centered and in focus for long experiments

* Customizable - Easily add your lab's hardware and implement custom features

* CPU or GPU tracking of beads via [MagTrack](https://github.com/7jameslondon/MagTrack)

## ⚒ Quick Start (Advanced)

  Click to expand

Easy CPU only install with pip:

```

pip install magscope

```

Launch the demo with:

```

import magscope

scope = magscope.MagScope()

scope.start()

```

More details on how to install with GPU-acceleration, connect your own camera and more are in the [documentation](https://magscope.readthedocs.io)!
