NIKON A1R STORM TIRF/NIDAQ triggering

The TIRF module experienced a problem yesterday and was repaired this morning. All is functional again.

The NIDAQ triggering of the EM-CCD camera no longer needs manual switching of BNC connectors, NIKON made a connector box that allows automated switching from within NIS elements. So triggering via the lasers (LU4) or wide field illumination (SpectraX) can be programmed within a ND acquisition procedure, useful for example in wide field imaging while performing FRAP or photoactivation.
