1 | 6 | Anchi Cheng | h1. Continuous tilt electron diffraction recording use Ceta or Ceta-D camera and TFS scopes |
---|---|---|---|

3 | Micro-ED involves recording 3D crystal electron diffraction pattern during a continuous stage tilt. Leginon implementation of this application includes the listed components below and is available by using myami-ed branch until it is officially added to future release. As is, it is only fully implemented for TFS Ceta or Ceta-D camera. |
||
4 | |||
5 | Since many of the feature required here are not available through Standard or Advanced TEM Scripting from TFS, AutoIt scripts are used in several places. |
||
6 | |||
7 | h2. Components of the feature |
||
8 | |||
9 | 5 | Anchi Cheng | # Diffraction mode TEM instrument |
10 | 8 | Anchi Cheng | # Beamstop control: achieved by AutoIt Scripts BeamstopIn and BeamstopOut |
11 | 9 | Anchi Cheng | # Rolling-shutter movie acquisition using TIA interface |
12 | # Data conversion and upload of the movies into Leginon database and crystallography format |
||
13 | 4 | Anchi Cheng | # [[ MSI-Diffr application ]] |
14 | 11 | Anchi Cheng | # [[Camera length calibration]] |

16 | h2. Installation (assuming that you've already have Leginon installation). |
||
17 | |||
18 | # Check that you have access to Advanced TEM Scripting (frame-saving upgrade not needed). |
||
19 | 12 | Anchi Cheng | # Install or set environment to use git branch myami-ed or current myami-beta on TFS microscope with Ceta camera as well as your leginon linux box. |
20 | 10 | Anchi Cheng | # import updated Calibrations application (see [[Steps_involved_in_the_installation]]) |
21 | # import MSI-diffraction and settings from your_myami/leginon/applications (see general description of [[Steps_involved_in_the_installation]] regarding importing application and additional settings for the application) |

24 | 3 | Anchi Cheng | # [[AutoIt program and script compilation]] |
25 | 20 | Anchi Cheng | # [[Setup movie upload with diffrtransfer.py]] |

28 | |||
29 | 15 | Anchi Cheng | h3. Check these before you start: |
30 | 1 | Anchi Cheng | |
31 | 15 | Anchi Cheng | 1. Confirm that instruments.cfg is properly set up to use feicam for Ceta camera. Especially if you use Falcon camera on the same instrument for imaging. |
32 | 18 | Anchi Cheng | 2. Open TUI. Select and insert BM-Ceta in the camera tab. Confirm that tui_acquire.au3 validation items are set [[Autoit program and script compilation#TUIAcquire-Testing|correctly]]. |
33 | 19 | Anchi Cheng | 3. Make sure TIA window is available and the Export Series shortcut is shown as required by [[Autoit program and script compilation#TiaExportSeries-Testing|TiaExportSeries.au3]] |
34 | 15 | Anchi Cheng | |
35 | 13 | Anchi Cheng | h3. Start MSI-DIffr application and assign client as required. |
36 | |||
37 | 1 | Anchi Cheng | h3. [[Setup df preset]] |
38 | 15 | Anchi Cheng | |
39 | h3. Grid atlas collection |
||
40 | |||
41 | 1. Select gr preset to scope, with flucam showing the grid and aperture, draw on the computer screen the location of the centerred small C2 aperture. |
||
42 | 2. Select a larger C2 aperture for grid atlas collection. |
||
43 | 3. collect grid atlas. |
||
44 | 4. Reselect the small C2 aperture. Make sure it is still centered. |
||
45 | |||
46 | h3. Queue up potential crystals |
||
47 | |||
48 | 1. Pick square and then pick "hole" for intermediate mag image of potential crystals. (This is no different from any other MSI application). |
||
49 | 2. Submit preview targets in "DExposure Targeting" node for a small rotation image and confirm whether it diffracts or not. |
||
50 | 3. Submit the good crystal positions as acquisition targets into the queue in "DExposure Targeting" node. No focus target is needed. |
||
51 | 4. If needed, modify "DExposure" settings for start, range, and speed of the tilt. |
||
52 | 5. Click "process queue" tool to start collection |
