Documentation
This script is intended to be run with "Acquire at points" function of the Navigator panel. Typically the user would define a grid of points (every hole of a Quantifoil or Cflat grid) and run this Macro to acquire an image at each point.
Buffer J should contain a View image of a centered hole (this image should be acquired using only the center of the field of view, adjust this in the Camera Properties). After moving to a new point/acquisition area, the stage position is aligned relative to this reference image. Defocus is changed by 0.01 micron after each image. This value should be adjusted depending on the starting defocus, the range to be covered and the number of of images acquired in each single run.
