People within my professional circle know that I really like Micro-Manager for microscope control. Since I know it so well, I chose it as the control software for this project.

I wrote a blog article recently on how to cross-compile and deploy Micro-Manager onto the Raspberry Pi from a x86_64 laptop. In fact, I now use this "Docker pattern" for building all of my projects that have a very large (> 1 GB) source code footprint.

I hope you find it useful!
