| 5 | 3 | Amber Herold | Dose Calibration is a calibration of CCD sensitivity. This calibration is required only once at each high tension per instrument. It can be used for three purposes: |
| 6 | 1 | Amber Herold | |
| 7 | |||
| 8 | 3 | Amber Herold | * To obtain a scaling factor between the scope screen current and the beam current measured by a standardized equipment such as a Faraday cup. |
| 9 | 1 | Amber Herold | |
| 10 | |||
| 11 | * To calibrate the camera sensitivity to electron. |
||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | 3 | Amber Herold | * If camera sensitivity is already calibrated, the value can be entered directly. |

| 21 | |||
| 22 | The following uses a Faraday cup |
||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | * Scope> Move the stage to an empty area or a broken hole. |
||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | 3 | Amber Herold | * Scope> Adjust the beam so that it passes through the measuring area of the Faraday cup. |
| 30 | 1 | Amber Herold | |
| 31 | |||
| 32 | 3 | Amber Herold | * Scope> Choose a magnification so that the same beam will pass within the main screen, too. |
| 33 | 1 | Amber Herold | |
| 34 | |||
| 35 | 3 | Amber Herold | * Leginon/Dose/Dose Calibrator> Beam Diameter = 0.16 m for Tecnai main screen. |
| 36 | 1 | Amber Herold | |
| 37 | |||
| 38 | 3 | Amber Herold | * Leginon/Dose/Dose Calibrator> Enter Screen Current to Beam Current Scale Factor as 1 as a starting point. |
| 39 | 1 | Amber Herold | |
| 40 | |||
| 41 | 3 | Amber Herold | * scope> Optionally lower the screen. Dose Calibrator will automatically do this if the user forgets. |
| 42 | 1 | Amber Herold | |
| 43 | |||
| 44 | 3 | 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. |
| 45 | 1 | Amber Herold | |
| 46 | |||
| 47 | 3 | Amber Herold | * 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. |

| 51 | h2. Calibrate the camera sensitivity |
||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | * Scope> Move the stage to an empty area or a broken hole. |
||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | 3 | Amber Herold | * Scope> Expand the beam so that it covers the main screen and illuminate it uniformly. |
| 59 | 1 | Amber Herold | |
| 60 | |||
| 61 | 3 | Amber Herold | * Leginon/Dose/Settings> Configure camera with override preset activated. |

| 71 | 1 | Amber Herold | |
| 72 | |||
| 73 | 3 | 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. |
| 74 | 1 | Amber Herold | |
| 75 | |||
| 76 | 3 | Amber Herold | * Leginon/Dose/Dose Calibrator> Without changing the beam intensity, click on "Calibrate". An image is acquired by Leginon. |
| 77 | *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. |
