Electronic schematic of two-laser multiphoton microscope. The computer controls the XY stage and z motor for the microscope directly via RS-232 connections. The three control boards are connected directly to the computer via a dedicated MXI-4 line within a PXI chassis. All the rest of the electronics are connected directly to these three boards with the connection channel indicated in the diagram. Internal connections between boards are shown by the real-time system integration (RTSI) connections in red; H-sync, horizontal synchronization; IO, input/output; V-sync, vertical synchronization.
