This release of shrimPy corresponds to the state of the acquisition engine at the end of 2025, before we rebuilt the microscope to collect label-free and fluorescence images through the same oblique detection path. This version of shrimPy uses a pycromanager-based acquisition engine, and includes a working implementation of autotracker on the mantis microscope.
In future releases we plan to transition to a pymmcore-plus-based acquisition engine, and update the repository structure to hold multiple acquisition engines (e.g. one for the mantis and iSIM microscopes) in one repository. Our intention is that these acquisition engines will share common features, possibly through a common base class, but may still contain differences specific to the hardware on each microscope.
