Upload More Images

The user is able to upload raw micrographs to either existing or new session to be used in appion processing

General Workflow:

To launch:

  1. The user provides the session name (new or exisiting) as well as a description to the session (if new)
  2. The user has the option to select the origin of the micrographs (e.g. tecnai2 on tietz camera)
  3. If it is a tilt series, the user will need to provide the number of images within the tilt series as well as the tilt information in the following parameter file
  4. Following this, the user has the option to upload via specifying a parameter file or enter the parameter manually.

Specify a Parameter File:

  1. This file has to adhere to the following information:
    1. complete path and name of micrograph
    2. pixel size in meters [1.63e-10]
    3. binning in x [1]
    4. binning in y [1]
    5. nominal scope magnification [50000]
    6. intended defocus in meters [-2e-06]
    7. high tension in volts [200000]
    8. (optional) stage alpha tilt in degrees if loading tilt group [55]
  2. The values for each micrographs should be on the same line separated by tabs:

/home/abc/xxx.mrc 1.63e-10 1 1 50000 -2e-06 200000 55

/home/abc/xyz.mrc 1.63e-10 1 1 50000 -2e-06 200000 10

Enter parameters manually:

  1. The user provides the path of the directory containing the images
  2. The user provides the file format
  3. The user provides the pixel size of the micrographs in Angstrom
  4. The user provides the binning in x
  5. The user provides the binning in y
  6. The user provides the magnification
  7. The user provides the defocus in micron
  8. The user provides the high tension of the microscope in kV

For a series of untilted images, it might be easier to enter parametes manually (assuming all your micrographs are in the same directory and all the other informations are the same for each image).

For tilted images, the user will definiltey need to create a parameter file to incorporate the stage alpha tilt information during upload.

Output:

  1. Once the micrographs are uploaded, it will appear in the viewer by choosing the correct session.
  2. The user can then start processing the micrographs using appion.
