EM-MENU supports a wide variety of remote control languages of different TEM manufacturers to control the TEMs and read their current settings. The versatile and flexible user interface allows efficient data acquisition and image processing.
Graphical User Interface
- Multiple viewports for image display, power spectra and line scan
- Main controls on the dialog bar or freely placeable
- Image Manager supports tree and series structures
- Layout Manager for fast user or task specific GUI layout switches
Camera configuration manager
- Links camera parameters (e.g. sensor area, binning and shutter settings) to a logical camera
- Fast modification of all parameters of a logical camera
Image acquisition
- Single snapshot
- Supports pre-specimen and post-specimen shutter
- Supports pre-exposure
- Continuous readout and power spectrum calculation
- Video recorder and movie maker (optional)
Image processing & analysis
- Single and average line scans in arbitrary directions
- Image statistics
- Histogram, arithmetic, geometric operations and masking
- Image measurements
