Olympus and tethered shooting

Greetings,

I am unfamiliar with Olympus' M43 cameras (I only have a TG2). I want to get an E-PM2 to mount to a Zeiss microscope with a C mount adapter. (The scope currently has the original CCD and a power brick that is rather larger.) I would like to control the camera from the computer; however, it seems that Olympus is no longer providing their Studio software that had tethering support. Is that correct, or am I missing it somewhere?

Thanks for you help!

E-PM2 does not support any form of cordless control.

The closest solution from Olympus would be E-M10, but it can be controlled by iOS and Android devices only, with limited picture transfer options.

Currently no MFT camera offers tethered shooting.
