Hummingbird Connect™ for TESCAN
Connect holder metadata, control data, and experiment context to the TESCAN software environment you already use.
Built around TESCAN’s open workflow environment
Hummingbird Connect™ for TESCAN is designed to support connections between Hummingbird in-situ hardware and TESCAN microscope automation, acquisition, and analytical workflows.
On supported platforms, the ExpertPI™ environment provides Python-based access for developing custom acquisition and processing methods. This creates a strong pathway for coordinating Hummingbird holder conditions and control data with TESCAN microscope functions, acquisition events, and external analytical tools.
The objective is to complement TESCAN’s open interfaces and keep the customer’s preferred microscope and software environment at the center of the experiment.
What is Hummingbird Connect™?
Hummingbird Connect™ is designed to connect Hummingbird Scientific holders, stages, delivery systems, and control hardware with microscope software, acquisition tools, external equipment, and laboratory data workflows.
Rather than forcing researchers into a predefined accessory-software ecosystem, Hummingbird Connect™ focuses on the connection points required for the experiment and the tools the laboratory already trusts.
Every microscope and experiment is different. Contact Hummingbird Scientific to evaluate the most appropriate connectivity pathway for your configuration.
Integration pathways may include:
- ExpertPI™ open API and Python workflow development
- Coordination with TESCAN acquisition and Explore™ workflows where applicable
- Holder status, temperature, pressure, flow, bias, and position data
- Synchronized microscope and Hummingbird hardware events
- Connections to open-source and laboratory-specific analysis tools
- Application-specific workflow development for supported TESCAN platforms
Open connectivity without unnecessary restrictions
Hummingbird Connect™ is designed as a bridge between the sample environment and the wider TESCAN workflow—not as a replacement for TESCAN software or the researcher’s preferred analytical ecosystem.
This approach supports connected experiments, richer metadata, and custom automation while preserving the flexibility that makes open API environments valuable.
Use the microscope software your laboratory already trusts. Connect the hardware and metadata you need. Keep control of the workflow and the data.
