v1.1.0

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

Below is a portable stand-alone installation of instamatic that includes a full Python (3.6) installation for 32-bit and 64-bit installations The command prompt can be started using start_Cmder.exe. When using instamatic for the first time, run instamatic.install to set up the correct paths (also when the directory is moved or instamatic is updated).

New in this version:

  • Routines for serial rotation electron diffraction on a Timepix camera
  • Interfaces for reading SerialEM .nav files
  • Support for TVIPS cameras via EMMENU
  • Support for Thermo Fisher microscopes (although not as well tested as for JEOL microscopes)
  • Routines for finding the eucentric height
  • Better support for custom scripts and serial data collection
  • Many new functions added to the TEM control interface
