Instamatic is a Python program that is being developed with the aim to automate the collection of electron diffraction data. At the core is a Python library for transmission electron microscope experimental control with bindings for the Thermo Fischer/JEOL microscope and interfaces to the gatan/timepix cameras. Routines have been implemented for collecting serial electron diffraction (serialED), continuous rotation electron diffraction (cRED), and stepwise rotation electron diffraction (RED) data.

This is a portable stand-alone installation of Instamatic that includes a full Python installation. The command prompt can be started using start_Cmder.exe. After extraction it is necessary to run instamatic.install to set up the correct paths (also when the directory is moved or Instamatic is updated).

Updated in 1.1.0:

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