EM & Surface Analysis Software
The following software packages are available on the EMAL data acquisiton and analysis computers.
Note this software, unless otherwise noted, is licensed for EMAL use only and any other use constitutes an infringement of the University's acceptable use policies.
So, please refrain from making your own copies of the software, thank you.
Macintosh
- CrystalKit
This software allows the construction of crystal structures for use
in the HREM simulation package MacTempas. Crystal Kit is hardware
keyed and is therefore located only on the EMAL Simulation Mac (also
known as the EMAL Archive Mac) in 421 EMAL.
- MacTempas
This software is an HREM simulation package, it is hardware keyed and
is therefore located only on the EMAL Simulation Mac (also known
as the EMAL Archive Mac) in 421 EMAL.
- ImageJ
ImageJ is a public domain Java image processing program inspired by NIH Image for the Macintosh. It runs, either as an online applet or as a downloadable application, on any computer with a Java 1.4 or later virtual machine. Downloadable distributions are available for Windows, Mac OS, Mac OS X and Linux. This software is available on the EMAL Macs and the latest version can always be found here.
- Graphic Converter
This software is available on the public EMAL Macs (e.g. Quanta and EMAL Simulation Mac), including the EMAL Email eMacs.
PC
- EDAX Genesis Software
This software is is the acquisition and analysis software that drives the EDAX X-ray systems in EMAL. There are three EDAX systems, located on the HP Kayak PC which is next to the control PC for the EMAL XL30FEG SEM, the AEM FasTEM PC in 431 EMAL (the JEOL 2010F room) and the Nova 200 NanoLab support PC in room 426. The software varies slightly, depending on whether the instrument is a TEM or SEM, however, the basic user-interface is consistent across each machine. The software runs in the Genesis "shell" and there are three tabs that activate the three main parts of the software:
- Spectrum
- Imaging
- Mapping there is also a "latest features" manual for mapping too.
On the EMAL data analysis PCs in room 419 there is an off-line analysis copy of the Spectrum part of this package.
- The EDAX software TEM Quant Materials ( Users Manual & Reference Manual) and TEM Quant Biological ( Users Manual & Reference Manual) is available on the AEM FasTEM PC in 431 EMAL (the JEOL 2010F room).
- ImageJ
ImageJ is a public domain Java image processing program inspired by NIH Image for the Macintosh. It runs, either as an online applet or as a downloadable application, on any computer with a Java 1.4 or later virtual machine. Downloadable distributions are available for Windows, Mac OS, Mac OS X and Linux. This software is available on the EMAL Macs and the latest version can always be found here.
- SPIP
SPIP is an image analysis software package for Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) and supports virtually every SPM file format. It is also the useful for the analysis of other types of nano and micro-scale images - such as SEM and TEM, confocal and optical microscopy, interferometry and profilometry.
- Electron Flight Simulator by Small World Inc.
This software is commercial, is harware keyed and is located on the EMAL XL30FEG SEM.
- Gatan's EELS Analysis software (a plug-in for Digital Micrograph) is installed on the AEM FasTEM PC in 431 EMAL (the JEOL 2010F room).
- FEI Nova NanoLab Users Manual - The latest version of the user manual for the FEI Nova 200 NanoLab Dualbeam FIB.
- FEI Quanta 200 3D Users Manual - The latest version of the user manual for the FEI Quanta 200 3D Dualbeam FIB.
- OIM Software by TexSEM Laboratories Inc.
This is the acquisition and analysis software for the OIM system on the EMAL XL30FEG SEM This software now runs on the HP Kayak PC which is next to the control PC for the EMAL XL30FEG SEM. The manual pages are NOT available on the Web because TSL will not give their permission for such access. Use the hardcopy manual or open the documentation that is avaialble in Office 2000 format on the Kayak PC. Offline analysis is also possible on the 3 EMAL data analysis PCs in 421 EMAL.
- Gatan's Digital Micrograph is available on the HREM PC in 429 EMAL and also on the AEM FasTEM PC in 431 EMAL.
The data analysis Mac in 417 EMAL has a copy available too, however remember that the newer versions on the PC may write files that are unreadable by the legacy versions on the Mac. The current Mac version is 3.4.1 and the PC version is 3.5.1.
- Gatan EFTEMSI Quick Reference.
- Information on Gatan's MSC Camera Plug-in (version 1.4) for Digital Micrograph is available.
- Information on Gatan Spectrum Imaging, which is implemented as a plug-in or Digital Micrograph is also available.
Macintosh/PC
- CrystalMaker
An application for fully-interactive visualization and analysis of crystal and molecular structures. Available for Mac OS X (Universal Binary), and for Windows XP. Featuring high resolution photo-realistic graphics, 3D stereo display, plus pro digital video and VR output. CrystalMaker User Guide.
- CrystalDiffract
A program to simulate x-ray and neutron powder diffraction patterns from CrystalMaker binary files - or directly from CrystalMaker via a menu command. Detailed measurement, indexing and manipulation of diffraction patterns is possible in real time, with extensive control over diffraction parameters. CrystalDiffract User Guide.
- SingleCrystal
A program to visualize the reciprocal lattice, simulate electron diffraction patterns and display stereographic projections. SingleCrystal reads from CrystalMaker binary files - or loads data directly from CrystalMaker via a menu command. Real-time manipulation and measurement is possible. SingleCrystal User Guide.
- Java Microscopy Tools
The Diffraction Suite (rendered in Java) and an unfinished port of Nestor Zaluzec's neds and nedqnt to Java.
- JEMS
This software is for simulating diffraction patterns and high resolution TEM images. It is a JAVA program written by Pierre Stadelmann (Pierre.Stadelmann@epfl.ch) of EPFL in Lausanne in Switzerland. It is available on the Macs and the EMAL Analysis PCs and in the TEM rooms on the acquisition PCs.
