Re: [micro-manager-general] SPOT insight color camera

[David L. <dla...@bi...>]

Hi,
I also have a spot insight color camera and I would really like to 
get it to work with MM on windows (even if only with 32 bit).  I was 
trying to get them (SPOT) to help me for a while last year, but gave 
up.  I will contact them again to add my voice, but what exactly 
should I ask for?  That they provide an updated SDK to 
micromanager?  Also, are spot color cameras working with mac OS?

Thanks,
David
