STIMscope — the Spatio-Temporal Illumination Microscope — is an open-source platform for simultaneous imaging and patterned optical stimulation. This repository packages it as a Docker distribution for NVIDIA Jetson: the Qt GUI, the C++ projector engine, the calibration suite, live trace extraction, hardware diagnostics, and the full set of operator workflows.
The GUI exposes a wide feature surface. Each capability is independent — operators combine them based on the experiment, not in a fixed sequence.
