Method for controlling a plurality of functional modules including a multi-wavelength imaging device, and corresponding control system

A system for driving a plurality of functional modules included in a multi-wavelength microscopy imaging device configured to take a plurality of image shots of a sample subjected to different excitation wavelengths, said imaging device comprising at least one first functional module and at least one second functional module, adapted respectively to performing a first function and a second function, the system comprising:

• means for sending out a first driving signal to the second functional module activated when the first functional module has performed said first function;
• means for triggering said first function, activated upon reception of the first driving signal received from the second functional module;
• means for triggering said second function, activated upon reception of the first driving signal received from the first functional module;
• means for sending out the second driving signal to the first functional module, activated when the second functional module has performed said second function;
• in that the first functional module is a wavelength-selection module and the first function comprises making a selection of at least one excitation wavelength for the sample,
• and wherein the second functional module is an image-capturing module and the second function comprises taking an image shot of the sample.
