Universal Microscope Control Software for Fluorescence Microscopy

Automate, synchronize, and reproduce microscopy experiments, from routine imaging to advanced live-cell workflows.

INSCOPER is a universal microscope control software and hardware synchronization platform designed for modern fluorescence microscopy. It enables researchers, imaging core facilities, and microscope manufacturers to control any imaging workflows from a single and reliable environment.

The system combines a flexible and user-friendly solution to deliver faster, reproducible, and future-proof imaging workflows.

Workflow freedom

Expand your fluorescence imaging capabilities from routine acquisitions to fully automated and customized multi-dimensional workflows

Hardware Agnostic

Unify leading microscope brands and custom third-party devices within a single, high-speed synchronization environment.

AI-ready

Future-proof your research with adaptive, real-time image analysis and event-driven automation.

Imaging without compromise

Orchestrate, automate, and synchronize advanced fluorescence microscopy experiments from a single, reliable control platform.

 

1. Design and run microscopy workflows with ease

A better way to record live cells

From simple acquisitions to advanced multi-dimensional experiments, build and reproduce your microscopy workflows all within one unified platform.

  • Map out imaging workflows visually with intuitive drag-and-drop logic
  • Launch complex multi-dimensional acquisitions in a few clicks
  • Reproduce experiments reliably across users and sessions
  • Manage metadata, channels, and protocols parameters automatically

Your microscope performs at the limits set by biology and photonics, not by system constraints.

Hardware-agnostic microscope control

Control heterogeneous microscopy systems from a single platform. A dedicated Device Controller synchronizes cameras, lasers, stages, and external devices with microsecond-level accuracy (where hardware allows).

What this means for your lab:

  • Up to 3× faster acquisition
  • Reliable triggering and low-latency synchronization
  • Stable performance independent of Windows updates
  • Integrates 500+ devices including Leica, Nikon, Zeiss, Evident, and custom third-party components

3. Build intelligent acquisition workflows tailored to your experiments

Programmable and adaptive microscopy workflows

Design automated and adaptive acquisition strategies using integrated Python scripting or direct API access. Experiments can react dynamically to what happens in the sample, enabling smarter imaging workflows and real-time decision-making.

This opens the door to:

  • Event-triggered imaging
  • Real-time image analysis-driven acquisition
  • Conditional experiment branching
  • Custom device logic and synchronization
  • AI-assisted decision workflows
