Abstract

FastTomo is a SerialEM script for collecting tilted specimen images in transmission electron microscopes to be further used in tomographic reconstruction. It achieves a speedup over conventional tracking methods by minimizing the usage of off-target tracking shots, and instead applies proportional control to the specimen images. Movement in the Z coordinate is estimated prior to each tilt series in a separate calibration routine. Overall, this method is fast and reliable when the field of view is at least 1 um, and can tolerate minor errors in setting eucentric height. The implemented tilt series schemes include the unidirectional, bidirectional, and dose-symmetric schemes.
