Python controlling microscope hardware
Hi, I'm trying to find some sample code or examples of using Python scripts to control the connection to Zeiss Axio Observer 7 and the functions to control each piece. Does anyone have any ideas or resources to suggest? Thanks!

Hi,
For Zen blue and Zen core with questions related to OAD control of the microscope I would suggest this forum. For some general questions regarding software-oriented microscopy topics a good place is https://forum.image.sc/. /Fredrik Olsson

Hello Alicia Yang,
sorry for the late reply.
What do you mean by:
Python scripts to control the connection to Zeiss Axio Observer 7 and the functions to control each piece
You can find a documentation all functions available in OAD/Python in the additional Help located in the Python editor (IDE).
Open the Macro Editor, click on Help in the Menu bar and choose Macro Object Model.
For a lot of functions you will find examples in this forum.
To establish a connection to your Zeiss Axio Observer 7 you can use the TCP-Service that is part of OAD.
To activate TCP click on Tools in the Zen blue Menu and then select options / Macro Editor and Enable TCP Macro.
