Microscope class

The :class:`Microscope` class provides a Python interface to the microscope. Below are the main class properties, each represented by a separate class:

• acquisition = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.Acquisition`

• apertures = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.Apertures`

• autoloader = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.Autoloader`

• detectors = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.Detectors`

• energy_filter = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.EnergyFilter`

• gun = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.Gun`

• optics = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.Optics`

  • illumination = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.Illumination`
  • projection = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.Projection`

• piezo_stage = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.PiezoStage`

• stage = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.Stage`

• stem = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.Stem`

• temperature = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.Temperature`

• user_door = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.UserDoor`

• vacuum = :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.Vacuum`

Image object

Two acquisition functions: :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.Acquisition.acquire_tem_image` and :meth:`~pytemscript.microscope.Acquisition.acquire_stem_image` return an :class:`Image` object that has the following methods and properties:

.. autoclass:: pytemscript.microscope.Image
    :members: width, height, bit_depth, pixel_type, data, save, name, metadata

Example usage

microscope = Microscope()
curr_pos = microscope.stage.position
print(curr_pos['Y'])
24.05
microscope.stage.move_to(x=-30, y=25.5)

beam_shift = microscope.optics.illumination.beam_shift
defocus = microscope.optics.projection.defocus
microscope.optics.normalize_all()
