The MOM® Computer System (MCS) includes the acquisition software package MScan 3.0 and the data analysis software MView 3.0. MScan seamlessly combines two-photon imaging,with photostimulation, behavioral monitoring, and electrophysiology.. While designed expressly for use with the Sutter MOM®, it is also compatible with other two-photon platforms. The MCS is designed to take on complex experiments in deep-tissue intravital imaging. Its intuitive user interface, is easy to learn and easy to use. The MCS and MOM together form a formidable tool to understand the most complex issues in neuroscience, immunology or oncology. Importantly, you will find in MCS the same standard of technical excellence and customer support that are the hallmark of all Sutter Instrument products.

The MScan 3.0 software simplifies the many tasks inherent in a complicated imaging experiment. MScan 3.0 is extensively multithreaded to take advantage of multicore processors, ensuring high performance, reliability and a responsive user interface.

MView 3.0, the MCS program for data analysis, can be downloaded freely from Sutter’s website. As well as allowing for complex analysis, MView will also allow data output in formats suitable for analysis on other platforms.

MSCan and MView are free-standing, Windows native software applications, assuring optimal performance and eliminating dependence on other, 3rd party supporting software (ex. MatLab). The MCS platform scales readily, and easily supports a multiuser environment where data are acquired on one, shared microscope, but can be analyzed via MView on any number of other, independent workstations – no dongles.

MCS includes a Windows 10 workstation, fully integrated with its National Instruments data acquisition boards, a USB 2.0 camera and a USB controlled MPC-200. The National Instruments boards included are a PCI-6110 board for scanner control, a PCIe-6353 board for timing of imaging and control of photostimulation and laser power. Finally, a PCIe-6321 board provides for electrophysiology functions. MCS is delivered as a fully functional, turnkey system with all data acquisition hardware and software pre-installed and pre-tested within the workstation
