---|---|---|---|
2 | |||
3 | Many preferences for nodes in "MSI-Tomography" application are the same as in MSI with queuing option. The example here is based on a working condition at the Jensen Lab. |
||
4 | |||
5 | The following should be set up by the user "administrator" which will then be used as system-wide default preference for new users. Once the new user starts the application, he/she can customize his/her own preferences. Not all preference has independent function. Therefore if you change one preference, check for the preference(configuration) of other nodes that might depend on it. |
||

7 | h2. Nodes that acquires images/Settings> except Tomography node |
||
8 | |||
9 | This application is normally used exclusively with the queuing option. Therefore, "wait for a node to process the image" option is always off. Note that the Process target type is default in all nodes except "Tomography Preview". |
||

24 | |||
25 | Leave other setting options to default. These default options are: |
||
26 | |||
27 | * Wait 2.5 seconds before acquiring image |

34 | |||
35 | * Defaults are used in settings |
||
36 | |||
37 | * The cycle order should match the sequence of data acquisition to minimize hysterisis. If the presets are imported from previous session, the cycle order is imported automatically. The example Tomography application uses gr->sq->hl->fa->fc->tomo->preview. |

||
140 | |||
141 | Tomography has many unique settings: |
||
142 | |||
143 | 4 | Eric Hou | # General Acquisition Settings: |
144 | |
||
145 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Use "modeled stage position" to move to target. |
146 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
147 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Wait 2.5 seconds before acquiring image |
148 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
149 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Save image to database |
150 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
151 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Float->Integer = No (There is a better settings in the lower panel of the node) |
152 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
153 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Correct image = Yes |
154 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
155 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Wait for a node to process the image = No |
156 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
157 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Publish and wait for rejected targets = Yes (For focusing before acquisition) |
158 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
159 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Publish and wait for the reference target = No (unless the beam is not stable, and a beam shift fix is required before most tilt series acquisition) |
160 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
161 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Adjust targets for drift = Yes |
162 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
163 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Declare drift between targets = Yes ( to ensure proper targets of multiple targets on the same lower mag hl image) |
164 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
165 | # Acquisition Presets Order = tomo |
||
166 | |
||
167 | # Acquisition Mover Settings (See Session on <link linkend="mover">Different ways to move targets</link> in the MSI chapter for details on how to optimize these settings: |
||
168 | |
||
169 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Mover: Navigator |
170 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
171 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Navigator Target Tolerance: 6e-08 m (Scope performance dependent. Use a larger value if the stage fails to reach the default value in acceptable, for example, 5, trials). |
172 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
173 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Navigator Acceptable Tolerance: 2e-07 m (Targeting accuracy dependent) |
174 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
175 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Final Image Shift = Yes |
176 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
177 | # Tilt |
||
178 | |
||
179 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Parameters Min.,Max.,Start |
180 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
181 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Step >0: start from "Start" tilt stepping to "Max" then from "Start" tilt stepping to "Min" |
182 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
183 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Step <0: start from "Start" tilt stepping to "Min" then from "Start" tilt stepping to "Max" |
184 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
185 | # Exposure |
||
186 | |
||
187 | 1 | Amber Herold | Tomography node divides the total dose by the number of tilt images it needs to acquire to calculate the real exposure time it uses, given the limit set by the user. |
188 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
189 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Total dose=200 e-A^2 |
190 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
191 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Exposure time Min.=0.25 seconds |
192 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
193 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Exposure time Max.=2 seconds |
194 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
195 | # Before Collection |
||
196 | |
||
197 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Run buffer cycle=Yes |
198 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
199 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Align zero loss peak=No (Yes if energy filter is used) |
200 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
201 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Measure dose=Yes |
202 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
203 | # Misc. |
||
204 | |
||
205 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Scale to convert to integer = Yes (Determine the scale factor by your camera sensitivity and the exposure intensity of each tilt image. See the session on Import Notes about Image Intensity Recorded through Tomography Node below) |
206 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
207 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Consider images with less than "100" counts of the first image as obstructed. (Determined by camera sensitivity and conversion scale above since the number is post-conversion. In general, 50% of a normal untilted image intensity is reasonable) |
208 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
209 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Abort if first half collected less than "90" % of images. (Reduce this number if fewer tilts are acceptable) |
210 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
211 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** The rest of the settings are various ways to detect the shifts of the images at adjacent tilts. Some are experimental. The most reliable is the Option "Use lpf in peak finding of tilt image correlation". |
212 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
213 | # Model |
||
214 | |
||
215 | 1 | Amber Herold | The goniometer model that predicts the defocus drift as a result of offset goniometer tilt axis relative to the detector imaging axis can be dynamically fitted. The following parameters are used to initialize the model fitting of the goniometer tilt axis. See Session on low magnification model fitting for more details. |
216 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
217 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** The model can be initialized using existing model in the database either at the same magnification of the tomo preset, at the first available model at lower magnification, or a specified magnification for larger range of flexability, or custom values set in this node. |
218 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
219 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Custom Tilt Axis Model is set separately for the two direction of the alpha tilt since many stages behaves differently as the weight of the stage lean on different part of the goniometer. |
220 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
221 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** During a dynamical model fitting, the fitting modifies the predicted stage z offset(z0) from the data at each tilt. To avoid false fitting that predicts an unreasonable z0, a limit can be added to allow a change of a physically possible value such as 2 um. This limit should be relaxed when the tilt axis model is unknown and is expected to be far from the initial guess. |
222 | 4 | Eric Hou | |
223 | 5 | Eric Hou | ** Keep the tilt axis parameters fixed = No if the stage tilt axis angle from y axis of the detector and the offset of the tilt axis from the center of the detectors are dynamically fitted during the tilt axis. |
224 | 1 | Amber Herold | |
225 | 7 | Eric Hou | Once the goniometer model gives satisfactory results, Keep the tilt axis parameters fixed is recommended with the model set to be initialized with the model of "only this preset" |
226 | 1 | Amber Herold | |
227 | 7 | Eric Hou | Defocus prediction smoothing is default to use shifts of 4 tilt images. A larger number can be set if the goniometer behavior is particularly jiggly. |
228 | 1 | Amber Herold | |
229 | h2. Dose Measurement and Align ZLP |
||
230 | |||
231 | Use defaults: |
||
232 | |||
233 | * Use "stage position" to move to the reference target |
||
234 | |||
235 | * Wait "3" seconds before performing request |
||
236 | |||
237 | * If reguest performed less than "900" seconds ago, ignore request |
