JEOL installation specifics¶
These implementations have pyscope modules included in our repository
JEOL 1230¶
Developed at New York Structure Biology Center
Please contact David Stokes
JEOL 1400 and 3200 (and other scopes with JEOL's COM library)¶
Developed originally at Northwestern University by Christian Suloway
Install 32-bit version of myami package on the associated camera computer¶
- Instead of installing myami package on JEOL scope-controlling PC, the access to JEOLCOM usually work through the computer controlling the digital camera, regardless of the camera manufacturer.
- In addition, probably because of the way JEOLCOM works, the installation is limited to 32-bit version.
Alternatively, install myami package on JEOL scope-controlling microscope¶
- This is only possible if this PC has TEMExternal3 installed and if it is on the same secured network as Leginon processing and database server.
Program | package web site | local copy of win32 installer |
comtypes 0.6.2 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/comtypes" | comtypes-0.6.2.win32.exe |
Please check Windows_Installation_All for important installation instruction regarding comtypes
Notes from the developer:
There are a few conversion factor at the top of the file that may need adjustment depending on the microscope.
jeol.cfg¶
jeol.cfg records some instrument specific parameters that are required to convert the COM output to SI units that Leginon depends on as well as standard focus values needed for initializing defocus reference.
See Setup and Calibration for jeol.cfg
instruments.cfg¶
[scope]
class: jeolcom.Jeol
cs: 4.1e-3
Testing with pyscope¶
In python command
from pyscope import jeolcom t =jeolcom.Jeol() t.getMagnification()
You should get the current magnification at the microscope when the main viewing screen is up
Leginon Calibration specifics¶
JEM scopes do not have a high level function we can access through scripting to move image shift without affecting beam location. Therefore, any Leginon node that uses IMAGE SHIFT move type should be changed to BEAM-IMAGE SHIFT.
This affects calibration procedure in two ways:- Beam Shift should be calibrated at mid and high mags (i.e. mags for hl and fa,fc,en,ef)
- Image Shift should be calibrated at smaller shift distance if the beam moves too much to affect correlation.
