Quick Tomography



Acquires a tomogram without additional tracking steps. We acquire tilt series from + to -60 deg with 1 deg increment in about 7 minutes using a TF30 and a OneView camera.

* The script will name the files according to the Navigator Label.

* It allows to automatically append -a or-b depending on the axis for dual tomo.

* A second tomo with lower mag and different tilt increment or defocus can be acquired right after the first in opposite tilt direction.
