ScopeOne: Flexible and C++-driven Microscope Control Platform

Modern microscopy systems integrate heterogeneous hardware devices that require dedicated software for coordination. However, high-performance C++ implementations of microscopy control software remain scarce. We present ScopeOne, a C++ and Qt-based microscopy control software built on the MicroManager hardware abstraction layer. Through process isolation and shared memory, ScopeOne achieves simultaneous multi-camera preview with real-time image processing, while maintaining full compatibility with the {\mu}Manager device ecosystem.

Quantitative analyses of the plant cytoskeleton reveal underlying organizational principles

The actin and microtubule cytoskeletons are vital structures for cell growth and development across all species. While individual molecular mechanisms underpinning actin and microtubule dynamics have been intensively studied, principles that govern the cytoskeleton organization remain largely unexplored. Here, we captured biologically relevant characteristics of the plant cytoskeleton through a network-driven imaging-based approach allowing to quantitatively assess dynamic features of the cytoskeleton. By introducing suitable null models, we demonstrate that the plant cytoskeletal networks exhibit properties required for efficient transport, namely, short average path lengths and high robustness. We further show that these advantageous features are maintained during temporal cytoskeletal re-arrangements. Interestingly, man-made transportation networks exhibit similar properties, suggesting general laws of network organization supporting diverse transport processes. The proposed network-driven analysis can be readily used to identify organizational principles of cytoskeletons in other organisms.
