Special note for users of Micro-Manager (µManager) software: support for Thorlabs scientific cameras (excluding
the CS505MUP polarization camera) is included when you run versions 1.4.14 and later. If you wish to download
or update your Micro-Manager software, please visit

Before using your camera within Micro-Manager, first make sure that your camera is properly installed and powered-
on. You may run a session of ThorCam to confirm that the camera, software and drivers are properly installed.
Then, shut down your ThorCam session and start a Micro-Manager session.
