h1. Special Operation setup 



 h2.    Taking final exposures on film 



 If film is used to collect data with one or more exposure presets, Edit the preset 
 setting in Presets Manager when you are ready to do so. The exposure time of the preset will 
 be applied to film exposure. A warning message will come up when the cassette is exhausted 
 and Leginon paused. You will need to reset the stock number after new film is added. 





 h2.    Acquiring images with the stage at a fixed alpha tilt 



 All targeting and focusing works on tilted specimen with correction made within Leginon 
 automatically. 


 *    Z adjustment to the defocus allows images acquired from image-shifted targets to 
 exhibit equivelent defocus regardless of location. 


 Additional <link linkend="mcal_st_pos">stage position matrix calibration</link> is 
 therefore needed for MSI at hl preset magnification where the targets are selected in 
 Hole node. 


 *    Distortion correction is made to beam-tilted images that are used for autofocusing 
 to boost peak signal. 

 Rotation centers are therefore needed to be stored at the magnification and HT for 
 fa and hl that are used in Z focus and Focus nodes for autofocusing, respectively. This 
 is <link linkend="r_center_store">stored (and retrieved) in Beam Tilt node of 
 Calibration application</link>. Because rotation center may change from day to day, 
 the correction is made only if the required rotation center is stored under the same 
 session. 




 **Because of the additional calibrations, this is not recommanded for 
 beginners.
