Welcome to slap2-utils’s documentation!

Overview

The slap2-utils library is designed to facilitate the reading of SLAP2 (Scanned Line Angular Projection Microscopy 2) binary files using Python. This utility aims to support researchers and developers working with data from SLAP2 two-photon microscopes by providing an interface to directly manipulate and analyze these files in Python as an alternative a Matlab based workflow. The SLAP2 microscope is a commerically avaliable kit from MBF bioscience (https://www.mbfbioscience.com/products/slap2). The toolkit includes features such as:

  • Reading SLAP2 Binary Files: Convert SLAP2 proprietary binary data into accessible formats for Python.

  • Metadata Parsing: Extract and utilize metadata associated with SLAP2 data files.

  • Data Manipulation: Tools to manipulate and process data points read from the binary file.

  • Trace Extraction: Tools to extract and generate traces from ROIs imaged in integrated scan mode.

  • Data Viewer: Quickly inspect collected data with a Python based data viewer.
