This guide is intended to help you quickly start imaging with μManager on a basic wide-field microscope/camera system. µManager can also be used to control devices on time-lapse microscope systems but that is too advanced to be dealt with here. If you're interested in finding out how to configure hardware in µManager there is a configuration guide on the µManager website.

Make sure the camera is switched on before opening µManager. If you're using Windows then double-click the µManager icon on the desktop. If you're using a Mac then click the icon in the dock. Note that the icon may say 'ImageJ' when you hover the mouse over it - that's normal.

Select the correct configuration from the drop-down list that appears on top of the splash screen. The image below shows a configuration for the QIClick on the Axioplan microscope. If the configuration you want isn't listed you can browse for it by clicking the button to the right of the list. If you want to process data without turning the camera on you can select '(none)' from the list.
