This section shows some of the more important and complicated steps in the set-up checklist. It assumes that the user knows the nomenclatures. See the full documentation if you want the detailed explanation. It also assumes that general set-up and calibrations exist from previous sessions so that most calibrations can remain unchanged. The steps that are NRAMM specific are marked. MSI now features stage Eucentric height correction at each square.

NOTE: The Tietz imaging software (EMMenu) must be turned OFF before Leginon is started. In contrast to this, the Gatan imaging software (Digital Micrograph) must be ON before Leginon is started.

Exposure presets are the base presets for data collection. To keep it to low dose

condition such as 10 electron/Angstrum, measurement of dose is performed and the exposure
259
time is adjusted. If scope or camera parameters are changed during the session, the dose

348
Exposure presets are the base presets for data collection. To make sure the best
349
correction is applied to them, the correction images should be acquired prior to the
350
experiment at session. Since no correlation is normally done on these images, only one [[Bright and Dark reference images#Correction-Channels|channel]] is needed. Normalization image might need to be
351
[[Bright and Dark reference images#Correction-Planmodified]] if a large chunk of region is blocked by a
352
fallen debris.

parameters.  The values in this node vary so much from grid to grid that the best way to

find these parameters is by going through a step-by-step trial-and-error process. To see the
504 4 Alex Kadokura
final acquisition and focus targets, enable only the Original, acquisition, and focus

h2. Autofocus Test
578
579
580
581
There are two focusers in MSI. "Z Focus" node usually moves stage in Z direction to
582
Eucentric height at lower mags. "Focus" node usually just correct the defocus in the way
583
equivalent to turning the focus adjustment knob on the scope at a higher mag. The defocus
584
measurments in both nodes are based on the same principle of beam-tilt induced image shift.
585
A correlation (normally phase) is used to obtain the image shift. Therefore, it is important
586
to test and preform autofocus measurement at area with recognizable feature that does not
587
move significantly during the defocus measurement.
588
589
590
The test use "Manual_after" focus step in the focus sequence for checking. Two
591
procedures can be used to reach a area for good correlation measurements:
592
593
594
595
596
*  Using Simulate Target tool
597
598
599
600
601
*  Leginon/Presets Manager> Send the autofocus preset "To Scope"
602
603
604
*  scope> Move to an area that has recognizable feature on the carbon
605
support at the center.
606
607
608
*  Leginon/(Z) Focus/Focus Sequence<inlinegraphic
609
fileref="http://emg.nysbc.org/software/leginon/images/icons/focus_sequence.png"
610
format="PNG"/>> Enable desired autofocus and "Manual_after" focus
611
steps.
612
613
614
*  Leginon/(Z) Focus/Toolbar> Click Simulate Target<inlinegraphic
615
fileref="http://emg.nysbc.org/software/leginon/images/icons/simulatetarget.png"
616
format="PNG"/> and follow the autofocus
617

619
620
621
622
623
*  Submiting focus target from Hole Targeting
624
625
626
*To use this procedure, there has to be a grid mosaic, and the Hole Targeting
627
should allow user verification of targets
628
629
630
*  Leginon/(Z) Focus/Focus Sequence<inlinegraphic
631
fileref="http://emg.nysbc.org/software/leginon/images/icons/focus_sequence.png"
632
format="PNG"/>> Enable desired autofocus and "Manual_after" focus
633
steps.
634
635
636
*  Leginon/Square Targeting> Select a test square and submit it<inlinegraphic
637
fileref="http://emg.nysbc.org/software/leginon/images/icons/play.png"
638
format="PNG"/>
639
640
641
*  Leginon/Hole Targeting> Submit a focus target to test autofocus in Z Focus
642
node and an acquisition target for the next stage. Both targets should be in an
643
area that has recognizable feature with carbon support.
644
645
646
*  Leginon/Z focus> follow the autofocus test in this node.
647
648
649
*  Leginon/Exposure Targeting> Submit a focus target at a location that has
650
recognizable feature with carbon support to test autofocus in Focus node.
651
652
653
*  Leginon/Focus> follow autofocus test in this node.

661
662
Checking the performance of autofocus by the following
663
criteria:
664
665
666
667
668
*  During autofocusing
669
670
671
672
673
*  Display the image and correlection peak: The observed movement of images
674
upon beam tilt should be consistent with the correlation peak and the edge of
675
the beam should not be visible in any of the beam-tilt images.
676
677
678
*  Display the correlation image: The correlation peak at its correct position
679
should be significantly higher than background.
680
681
682
683
684
685
686
*  During manual focusing
687
688
Manual Focusing can be activated either by enabling "Manual_before/Manual_after"
689
steps or directly when leginon is idle using (Z) Focus/Toolbar/MF. To activate manual
690
focus directly, it is necessary to send to scope the preset of the choice (normally
691
fc) first, though.
692
693
694
*  MF> The FFT should show visible and isotropic Thon ring according to the
695
fc preset defocus.
696
697
698
*  MF/Toolbar> Make sure the move type is "Defocus" and the set value in the
699
box is 0 m then click "Set instrument" botton<inlinegraphic
700
fileref="http://emg.nysbc.org/software/leginon/images/icons/instrumentset.png"
701
format="PNG"/>. This will set the defocus to the current 0.
702
703
704
*  MF> The perfect autofocus result is that the FFT indicates that the scope
705
is at Gaussian focus.
706
707
708
*  For relative movement, press "+" or "-". The step size is determined in
709
MF/Toolbar/Settings>
710
711
712
*  To reset defocus to zero at the new focus, press the so-named
713
button<inlinegraphic
