| 3 | Picoammeter setup: |
||
| 4 | * plug in |
||
| 5 | * wait 1 hour |
||
| 6 | * activate ZCHK (maybe already when turned on) (should say ZC on screen) |
||
| 7 | * plug into faraday holder |
||
| 8 | * set to lowest range (2nA) |
||
| 9 | * activate ZCOR to set zero (should say ZZ on screen) |
||
| 10 | * set auto range if desired |
||
| 11 | * deactivate ZCHK to begin measuring |
||
| 12 | 3 | Jim Pulokas | * focus beam to a spot |
| 13 | * pull out holder until spot hits the faraday cup (max current) |
||
| 14 | ** 200keV |
||
| 15 | *** 1.01 nA |
||
| 16 | ** 120 keV |
||
| 17 | *** 2.53 nA |
||

| 20 | h1. Exposure Time to Screen Current measurment |
||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | * refer to Tecnai Help for "Exposure Time, Plate Camera CP" |
||
| 23 | * formula: beam current (nA) = 2.15 * emulsion / measured_exposure_time |
||
| 24 | ** exp time is between 3.1 and 3.5 depending on size of beam |
||
| 25 | ** emulsion = 1 |
||
| 26 | 1 | Jim Pulokas | ** beam current is between 0.61 and 0.69 nA |
| 27 | 3 | Jim Pulokas | |
| 28 | |||
| 29 | h1. Leginon screen scale factor measurement |
||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | * adjust scale factor until beam current is same as faraday cup |
||
| 32 | ** 200 keV |
||
| 33 | *** 0.725 |
||
| 34 | ** 120 keV |
||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | h1. Camera sensitivity |
||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | ** 200 keV |
||
| 39 | *** 45-50 count/e |
||
| 40 | ** 120 keV |
||
| 41 | *** 107 count/e |
