The Application¶

Manual Application is the simplest application example of leginon. It is designed for users who want direct interaction with the microscope but prefer the convenience of browsing through images with the leginon web-based viewer.

The application records CCD images at user's command either using the current microscope setup in normal mode or switching automatically to the exposure mode setup in the low-dose mode. In other words, pressing the "Acquire" tool in the application's manual node is equivalent to hitting the "exposure" button on the microscope except that the image is recorded on CCD rather than on film.

The following is a diagram showing control of functions in nodes and the location of them on the two launchers:
