Installation wizard
The OpenPolScope software works with Micro-Manager, Fiji and ImageJ. However, for acquiring a dataset via Pol-Acquisition (Micro-Manager plugin) Micro-Manager is essential. The Pol-Analyzer (imageJ plugin) requires the basic Micro-Manager libraries in order to view and re-process datasets.
For this example we use Fiji as our target
When installing in Fiji or other ImageJ installations a scaled down version of MIcro-Manager is installed.
A User manual introducing Polarization is included which is a good start to familiarize with terms.
The OpenPolScope software is installed in the plugins folder. The Fiji and ImageJ variant also installs a copy of Micro-Manager.

Starting Pol-Analyzer
Pol-Analyzer will initialize Micro-Manager first since it is required for viewing and re-processing.
Since Pol-Analyzer requires data acquired using the Pol-Acquisition plugin select Cancel to use a Temporary directory.
Pol-Analyzer interface should now initialize with default values.
None should be selected when Micro-Manager initializes.
For detailed description please refer to the Pol-Analyzer manual.
