3 13 Anchi Cheng
Dose Calibration is a calibration of digital camera  sensitivity. This calibration is required only once at each high tension per instrument.
4 1 Amber Herold
5 13 Anchi Cheng
Camera sensitivity is counts on camera per electron input.
6 4 Amber Herold
7 13 Anchi Cheng
You can either use Faraday cup or screen current to measure electron input and camera to get average counts on the camera with the same beam or enter the pre-determined camera sensitivity value provided by camera supplier under similar condition you use for data collection.

The following uses a Faraday cup
26 4 Amber Herold
#  Scope> Move the stage to an empty area or a broken hole.
27
 
28
#  Scope> Adjust the beam so that it passes through the measuring area of the Faraday cup.
29 1 Amber Herold
 
30 4 Amber Herold
#  Scope> Choose a magnification so that the same beam will pass within but almost to the main screen, too.
31
 
32
#  Leginon/Dose/Dose Calibrator> Beam Diameter = 0.16 m for Tecnai main screen.
33
 
34
#  Leginon/Dose/Dose Calibrator> Enter Screen Current to Beam Current Scale Factor as 1 as a starting point.
35
 
36
#  scope> Optionally lower the screen. Dose Calibrator will automatically do this if the user forgets.
37
 
38 1 Amber Herold
#  Leginon/Dose/Dose Calibrator> Click Measure Dose Rate. The Dose Rate, Beam Current, and Screen Magnification will appear in the corresponding fields after they have been calculated.
39
 
40 13 Anchi Cheng
#  Leginon/Dose/Dose Calibrator> Adjust the Screen Current to Beam Current Scale Factor so that the displayed beam current is equal to that of the Faraday cup measurement. NRAMM Tecnai's value is 0.88.  We don't have values for other microscopes since we no longer own a Faradat cup for such calibration.

#  Scope> Move the stage to an empty area or a broken hole.
46

55 3 Amber Herold
** Screen Current to Beam Current Scale Factor = (as determined above or 1 to assume good calibration by the microscope manufacturer)

*Leginon will automatically lift the main viewing screen on the microscope. Some users report that the function does not work on their microscopes. Do it manually if the automatic function does not work.
