Your question is very interesting. And if your microscope camera is
delivering standard FireWire based DV signals to the computer it will
work with standard video-applications like
Premiere/iMovie/EditDV/FinalCut etc.
If you want to edit video you should indeed use one of those
applications ... and then you can save as QuickTime and use them in
Revolution.
But Revolution could be very interesting as an interface for video
capturing when the goal is to create applications for labs etc. For
controlling and timing capturing of single frames, short intervalled
sequenses etc. etc. And it is interesting to hear what Kevin and others
have to say about this: Is it a feasible task to build a DV input
interface. It would indeed need to include the basic controls like
capture a frame, start stop capturing live DV, naming files on the disk
etc. etc.
