Multispectral illumination with a microcontroller flowchart. Multispectral illumination is provided through the interface of a microcontroller, control computer, and camera. Once the user inputs a desired strobing sequence from the GUI, the control computer checks the validity of the pattern and instructs the microcontroller to use a preprogrammed strobe sequence. If the process is successful, the user is allowed to begin image acquisition. During acquisition the microcontroller is driven by the camera to turn the LEDs on/off. A frame counter provides the next LED in the sequence. When acquisition ends, the microcontroller is reset.
