AutoScript TEM Software scripting environment

Thermo Scientific AutoScript TEM Software is a scripting environment combining a TEM-specific Python API with the Python editor. Thermo Scientific software packages for electron/ion microscopy, such as Maps Software and Tomography Software for automation and for mapping, are great for making collection of standard information easy. However, industrial automation and fundamental research often require advanced techniques for imaging and analysis that cannot be covered in the scope of general purpose software. AutoScript TEM Software provides access to the microscope controls in a Python environment to define your application tailored to the question at hand.

Automated electron microscopy workflows

AutoScript TEM Software for TEM is the customization toolkit tor transmission electron microscopes. Built around Python, it provides you the power to automate workflows and associated processing pipelines built to solve specific research questions.

AutoScript TEM Software:

  • Provides a direct link between research needs and microscope automation.
  • Enables improved reproducibility and accuracy.
  • Focuses time on the microscope for higher throughput.
  • Empowers new scientific results.

 


Key features

 

Automated electron microscopy and TEM imaging

 

Integrated IDE

An integrated development environment (IDE) makes it easy to get up and running with AutoScript TEM Software. Object browsing and syntax tools with auto completion are all included to ensure a rich user experience and rapid, consistent scripting framework.

Grundlagenforschung in der Materialforschung

Neuartige Materialien werden in immer kleineren Dimensionen untersucht, um ihre physikalischen und chemischen Eigenschaften bestmöglich zu kontrollieren. Die Elektronenmikroskopie gibt Forschern wichtige Einblicke in eine Vielzahl von Materialeigenschaften auf der Mikro- bis Nanoebene.

 


Techniques

3D-Materialcharakterisierung

Die Entwicklung von Materialien erfordert oft eine 3D-Multiskalen-Charakterisierung. DualBeam-Geräte ermöglichen das serielle Schneiden großer Volumina und die anschließende REM-Bildgebung im Nanometerbereich, die zu hochwertigen 3D-Rekonstruktionen der Probe verarbeitet werden kann.

Weitere Informationen ›

Mehrskalenanalyse

Neuartige Materialien müssen mit immer höherer Auflösung analysiert werden, wobei der größere Kontext der Probe erhalten bleiben muss. Die Mehrskalenanalyse ermöglicht die Korrelation verschiedener Geräte und Modalitäten zur Bildgebung wie Röntgen-Mikro-CT, DualBeam, Laser-PFIB, REM und TEM.
