Micro-Manager versions
Currently, there are 2 usable versions of Micro-Manager: 1.4 and 2.0-gamma. These versions use the same code to interface to devices, but differ in their user interface, and file reading/saving code. 2.0-gamma is actively developed and maintained. 1.4 is no longer developed (except for the device support and the ASI diSPIM plugin). If you start using Micro-Manager, it is recommended to use the latest nightly build of 2.0-gamma.

Nightly Builds
Although there has been no official release for quite some time, further development and multiple bug fixes have occurred in the 1.4 branch in parallel with development of 2.0. Nightly builds are almost always stable and a better choice for most users than the latest official release.
- Version 2.0-gamma (Windows) (you most likely want the 64-bit version)
- Version 1.4 (Windows) (pay attention to 32-bit or 64-bit, both are listed but you need the one matching your Windows OS)
Micro-Manager 1.4.22 (August 14, 2015)
Read the Known Issues.
- Windows 32-bit, 63.4 MB
- Windows 64-bit, 65.1 MB
Requires Windows XP, or 7-10. Windows 7 recommended. Device drivers may have other requirements.
- Mac OS X (Universal Binary), 54.0 MB
Requires Mac OS X 10.5-10.10. 10.11 (El Capitan) is not yet supported. Device drivers may have other requirements.
(OS X 10.8 and later: if the application does not open when double-clicked for the first time, try ctrl-click or right click, then select 'Open'.)
- Under GNU/Linux platforms, you should compile micro-manager from source.
Known issues in 1.4.22
- If you use AndorSDK3 (Andor sCMOS cameras) and experience a crash upon starting Micro-Manager (or loading a hardware configuration), please upgrade to the 20150820 nightly build (Windows 64-bit, Windows 32-bit)
- Olympus IX83 users: please use 1.4.21 instead.
Changes in 1.4.22 (since 1.4.21)
