h1. JEOL installation specifics 

 These implementations have pyscope modules included in our repository 

 h2. JEOL 1230 

 Developed at New York Structure Biology Center 

 Please contact David Stokes 

 h2. JEOL 1400 and 3200 (and other scopes with JEOL's COM library) 

 Developed originally at Northwestern University by Christian Suloway 

 h3. 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. 

 h3. 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. 

 See [[JEOL External3 setup]] 

 {{include(comtypes installer)}} 

 Please check [[Windows_Installation_All]] for important installation instruction regarding comtypes 

 Notes from the developer: 
 <pre> 
 There are a few conversion factor at the top of the file that may need adjustment depending on the microscope. 
 </pre> 

 h2. 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]] 

 h2. instruments.cfg 

 [scope] 
 class: jeolcom.Jeol 
 cs: 4.1e-3 

 h2. Testing with pyscope 

 In python command 
 <pre> 
 from pyscope import jeolcom 
 t =jeolcom.Jeol() 
 t.getMagnification() 
 </pre> 

 You should get the current magnification at the microscope when the main viewing screen is up 

 

 h2. 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.
