EM-MENU 4.0 Basic is a modern image acquisition and processing software featured for the specific tasks in TEM. The new-designed versatile and flexible user interface developed for Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP allows efficient data acquisition.
Screen layouts including positions and sizes of windows and dialogs can be stored. The layout manager enables toggling between different layouts with only one mouse click.
The Image Manager organizes the acquired images in tree-like directories. They can be moved, copied, renamed or deleted to prepare optimal structures before saving them to harddisk.
Camera Configuration
The Camera Configuration Manager links all selectable camera settings (e.g., size, binning exposure time) to a logical camera. Assigning them to different buttons or viewports offers a rapid change between settings for search and acquisition.
