support for different light paths in same experiment #554

Open carandraug opened 4 years ago

Currently there is one light path during the experiment for all cameras and we assume only one objective. An implication of this is that we assume the same pixel size for different cameras but in practice each camera might have slightly different pixel sizes.

I just met with @maazevedo at i3s where they are building a lightsheet and they acquire simultaneously from two cameras, light coming from two different objectives (10x and 40x).

This issue is not limited to the cockpit interface. This also affects how we save data. Currently each experiment saves a single dv file where all pixels are assumed to have the same size. A change of this would require to either save on a different format or to save data on multiple files.
