Topography
A "cookbook" for topography in electron microscopy, including a structured compilation of common methods, practical guidelines, and troubleshooting strategies that assist users in their daily work, and supports engineers in their development. Permissions/Acce...
How to access height maps in TIFF data
Height maps created with point electronic BSE-Topography system are stored together with other acquired data in a TIFF file. TIFF files saved from DISS6 Topography extensions contain one or more data channels (pages) with 8 or 16 bits. In addition, all metadat...
ETI
General information, service and support instructions for External Trigger Interface (ETI) controllers for TEM. Subject to technical changes. ETI hardware manual ℹ️Before using the ETI, you must read this manual thoroughly.The ETI manual must be kept in a saf...
Scope
microDIP is provided for post-processing of microscopy images after acquisition, including metadata embedded in image file header, or paired metadata files. It supports fully the point electronic GmbH image files and metadata, and partially data from other sou...
Measure pixel values in acquired data with microDIP
This section provides a guide on how to quantify pixel values from acquired images, i.e. 16-bit TIF files, using the microDIP app. Prerequisites For intensity calibration/quantification to work metadata much contain the necessary hardware values as tags scan ...
Compare pixel values across signals or images with microDIP
Prerequisites For intensity calibration/quantification to work metadata much contain the necessary hardware values as tags scan controller hardware has to be calibrated the particular signal/channel images must be saved without compression, which means 16-bit...
Mix colours for EFA localization with microDIP
Please load the 'EBIRCH.tif' file from the sample images. A typical approach will be used here, where SE signal is kept in the original grayscale to provide a larger field of view and to preserve a natural reference view of the image location/context EA.EFA ...
View metadata in microDIP
MicroDIP software provides a metadata viewing function which enables the users to read metadata without relying on an external program during data analysis. Default tags and views Once an image with metadata is loaded, a short summary of metadata is displayed ...
Scope
Scan Control app is provided for independent and open control of point electronic GmbH scan controllers, including REVOLON for TEM and DISS6 for SEM. I can be used over both TCP/IP and USB device connections. Intended Use Scan Control app is aimed for users w...
Software
This section provides instructions on software installation and configuration. Setups are typically delivered with the hardware on a USB drive, but a few service tools my also be downloaded from the PE library. As a general precaution, make sure that administr...
USB driver
USB drives are supported for Microsoft Windows only, version 10 or higher! Administrator password may be needed to install software! Please consult with the microscope owner to make sure administrator password is available. Detector electronics will not be rec...
End user apps
Software installation requires administrator rights! Make sure in advance that this is available on the target PC! Standalone BSE detector Please install only the Detector Control app and follow instructions from the online user manual. Default configuration f...
Software Development toolKit (SDK)
SDK is not part of standard BSE detector or BSE system delivery, for further information contact info@pointelectronic.de
How-to Quantification
Pixel values can be more than qualitative values where a brighter pixel shows a stronger signal. Whilst qualitative values may be sufficient if images are to be printed or shared without any further post-processing or analysis, pixel values can be automaticall...
How-to Metadata
Image metadata contains critical contextual information about the file, not only information about the microscope settings at the time of acquisition, but also information about the software that was used to save it, user information and copyright, as well as ...
Explore metadata with a text editor
Metadata can be read with a plain text editor, preferably with one that also has XML parsing, such as Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code. Instead of opening the image files, click right to open the context menu and choose 'Open with' or 'Edit'. Alternatively, op...
How-to Colour
Mixing of multiple signals acquired at the same time it's a key tool for visualisation of complex datasets. With microDIP, it's used primarily for localisation in Electrical Failure Analysis (EFA) and for grouping of signals in highly-segmented detectors. It i...
Compose BSE colour images with microDIP
Open the 'BSE.tif' sample image and select Home > Tools > Mix, choose Mix > Operation > Average and select all four signals in the left side panel. For BSE signals such as this, averaging signals is equivalent to a 'Compo' mix For completeness, a colour mix ...
