Deprecations and Changes
- Change `grid_spacing_in_um` in `pixel_size_in_um` and `voxel_size_in_um` (and relative doc string) to better represent the physical dimension of the fundamental unit of the image (pixel or voxel).
Bug Fixes
Features
Improvements
- New illumination pattern classes to represent different microscopy scanning methods:
- `IlluminationPattern`: Base class for describing the illumination pattern used to acquire images
- `LineScan`: Line scanning method commonly used in two-photon microscopy
- `PlaneAcquisition`: Whole plane acquisition method, common for light sheet and one-photon techniques
- `RandomAccessScan`: Random access method for targeted, high-speed imaging of specific regions
- Added `technique` attribute to the `Microscope` class to describe the imaging technique used
- Updated `ImagingSpace` classes to include an `illumination_pattern` parameter, creating a direct link between the imaging space and the acquisition method
- Added mock implementations for all new classes in `_mock.py` for testing purposes
- Updated example notebooks to demonstrate the use of different scanning methods
Notes
- These changes are backward compatible and add new functionality without removing existing features
- The `illumination_pattern` parameter is now required when creating `ImagingSpace` objects
