4 10 Amber Herold
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.

 Note: Creating new preset and adjusting the preset are covered in Calibration Chapter under [[Creating Presets for the first time|Creating presets the first time]].
49
 *  The cycle order should match the sequence of data acquisition to minimize hysteresis. If the presets are imported from previous session, the cycle order is imported automatically. As an example, the cycle for naming scheme used here at NRAMM is gr -> sq -> hl -> fa -> fc -> en -> ef.

Exposure presets are the base presets for data collection. To keep it to low dose
254
condition such as 10 electron/Angstrum, measurement of dose is performed and the exposure
255
time is adjusted. If scope or camera parameters are changed during the session, the dose

344
Exposure presets are the base presets for data collection. To make sure the best
345
correction is applied to them, the correction images should be acquired prior to the
346
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
347
[[Bright and Dark reference images#Correction-Planmodified]] if a large chunk of region is blocked by a
348
fallen debris.

We can use any image that is already loaded into Hole Targeting to adjust these
498 4 Alex Kadokura
parameters.  The values in this node vary so much from grid to grid that the best way to
499 1 Amber Herold
find these parameters is by going through a step-by-step trial-and-error process. To see the
500 4 Alex Kadokura
final acquisition and focus targets, enable only the Original, acquisition, and focus
501 1 Amber Herold
display selections. Refer to Introduction Chapter on [[MSI set-up in more details

506
The loaded image normally comes from the image acquired through "Square" node when you
507
submit targets on the grid atlas in "Square Targeting" node.  You can also do a practice run
508
using the default image comes with Leginon. Leave the filename entry blank when you click
509
"Load" in the hole finding settings window for the step "Original". The default values in
510

h2. Autofocus Test
574
575
576
577
There are two focusers in MSI. "Z Focus" node usually moves stage in Z direction to
578
Eucentric height at lower mags. "Focus" node usually just correct the defocus in the way
579
equivalent to turning the focus adjustment knob on the scope at a higher mag. The defocus
580
measurments in both nodes are based on the same principle of beam-tilt induced image shift.
581
A correlation (normally phase) is used to obtain the image shift. Therefore, it is important
582
to test and preform autofocus measurement at area with recognizable feature that does not
583
move significantly during the defocus measurement.
584
585
586
The test use "Manual_after" focus step in the focus sequence for checking. Two
587
procedures can be used to reach a area for good correlation measurements:
588
589
590
591
592
*  Using Simulate Target tool
593
594
595
596
597
*  Leginon/Presets Manager> Send the autofocus preset "To Scope"
598
599
600
*  scope> Move to an area that has recognizable feature on the carbon
601
support at the center.
602
603
604
*  Leginon/(Z) Focus/Focus Sequence<inlinegraphic
605
fileref="http://emg.nysbc.org/software/leginon/images/icons/focus_sequence.png"
606
format="PNG"/>> Enable desired autofocus and "Manual_after" focus
607
steps.
608
609
610
*  Leginon/(Z) Focus/Toolbar> Click Simulate Target<inlinegraphic
611
fileref="http://emg.nysbc.org/software/leginon/images/icons/simulatetarget.png"
612
format="PNG"/> and follow the autofocus
613
614
615
616
617
618
619
*  Submiting focus target from Hole Targeting
620
621
622
*To use this procedure, there has to be a grid mosaic, and the Hole Targeting
623
should allow user verification of targets
624
625
626
*  Leginon/(Z) Focus/Focus Sequence<inlinegraphic
627
fileref="http://emg.nysbc.org/software/leginon/images/icons/focus_sequence.png"
628
format="PNG"/>> Enable desired autofocus and "Manual_after" focus
629
steps.
630
631
632
*  Leginon/Square Targeting> Select a test square and submit it<inlinegraphic
633
fileref="http://emg.nysbc.org/software/leginon/images/icons/play.png"
634
format="PNG"/>
635
636
637
*  Leginon/Hole Targeting> Submit a focus target to test autofocus in Z Focus
638
node and an acquisition target for the next stage. Both targets should be in an
639
area that has recognizable feature with carbon support.
640
641
642
*  Leginon/Z focus> follow the autofocus test in this node.
643
644
645
*  Leginon/Exposure Targeting> Submit a focus target at a location that has
646
recognizable feature with carbon support to test autofocus in Focus node.
647
648
649
*  Leginon/Focus> follow autofocus test in this node.

654

656
657
658
Checking the performance of autofocus by the following
659
criteria:
660
661
662
663
664
*  During autofocusing
665
666
667
668
669
*  Display the image and correlection peak: The observed movement of images
670
upon beam tilt should be consistent with the correlation peak and the edge of
671
the beam should not be visible in any of the beam-tilt images.
672
673
674
*  Display the correlation image: The correlation peak at its correct position
675
should be significantly higher than background.
676
677
678
679
680
681
682
*  During manual focusing
683
684
Manual Focusing can be activated either by enabling "Manual_before/Manual_after"
685
steps or directly when leginon is idle using (Z) Focus/Toolbar/MF. To activate manual
686
focus directly, it is necessary to send to scope the preset of the choice (normally
687
fc) first, though.
688
689
690
*  MF> The FFT should show visible and isotropic Thon ring according to the
691
fc preset defocus.
692
693
694
*  MF/Toolbar> Make sure the move type is "Defocus" and the set value in the
695
box is 0 m then click "Set instrument" botton<inlinegraphic
696
fileref="http://emg.nysbc.org/software/leginon/images/icons/instrumentset.png"
697
format="PNG"/>. This will set the defocus to the current 0.
698
699
700
*  MF> The perfect autofocus result is that the FFT indicates that the scope
701
is at Gaussian focus.
702
703
704
*  For relative movement, press "+" or "-". The step size is determined in
705
MF/Toolbar/Settings>
706
707
708
*  To reset defocus to zero at the new focus, press the so-named
709
button<inlinegraphic
