Instamatic

Instamatic is a Python program for automated electron diffraction data collection. At the core is a flexible Python library for transmission electron microscope experimental control with bindings for the JEOL/FEI microscopes and interfaces to the Gatan/Timepix/TVIPS cameras.

This release fixes a few bugs in the last version and links in the documentation.

Instamatic is a Python program for automated electron diffraction data collection. At the core is a flexible Python library for transmission electron microscope experimental control with bindings for the JEOL/FEI microscopes and interfaces to the Gatan/Timepix/TVIPS cameras.

**New/updated in this version:**
- Offline automated structure soluting (asdfdsa)
- Montaging has moved to [`PySerialEM`](https://github.com/stefsmeets/pyserialem)
- Use shared memory for faster data transfer from EMMENU (Python>=3.8)
- A few bug fixes and tweaks

New in this version:

- Add crystal finding routines using supervised machine learning via [Predicrystal](https://gitlab.tudelft.nl/aj-lab/predicrystal) through `Ilastik`.
- Add new script: `instamatic.find_crystals_ilastik`

v.1.3.2


v.1.3.1
- Fixes a misnamed variable that can cause a crash.

v.1.3.0
Instamatic is a Python program for automated electron diffraction data collection. At the core is a flexible Python library for transmission electron microscope experimental control with bindings for the JEOL/FEI microscopes and interfaces to the Gatan/Timepix/TVIPS cameras.

**New/updated in this version:**
- Add config option rotate images for each magnification (`ctrl.get_rotated_image`)
- Align stage to template image (`ctrl.align_to`)
- Refactor mode/screen/beamblank API
- Re-structure calibration config
- Add non-blocking camera call `ctrl.get_future_image` (returns future)
- Add file with default settings (`defaults.yaml`)
- Add grid montaging / mapping functions
- Implement 'Acquire at items' functionality similar to `SerialEM`
- Add Goniotool server to remotely control rotation speed on JEOL TEMs
- Pass image data via shared memory (Python 3.8+)
- Communicate via json/msgpack over socket
- Add tests
- Add stagematrix calibration
- Many small changes/tweaks

- Bindings for Thermo Fisher microscopes (experimental)
- Routines for serial rotation electron diffraction
