Demo
To use POLCAM-Live during acquisition, data needs to be written away as individual images instead of stacks (this is possible in Micro-Manager). In POLCAM-Live, start by setting the conversion settings to match the system. Then set the watched folder by navigating to the folder in which the images are being written away. Now you are ready to click the "Start Conversion" button. The display of the processed images is completely independent of image acquisition. The results that are being displayed are not being saved.
