Gatan K2 Instruments cfg

The camera modes are configured as separate cameras as follows.

  • Super Resolution should be double the size of Linear and Counting.
  • zplane will be relative to any other cameras in your system. Anything below K2 should have a lower zplane.

  • to make the images acquired from the camera to have the standard Leginon orientation, the camera configuration in Digital Micrograph will need a rotation and flip (270 degree rotation and a flip around the vertical axis on our camera) on typical FEI F20 but maybe not so post-GIF or on Krios. Therefore, the height is longer than width in the configuration below

    [Gatan K2 Linear] class: dmsem.GatanK2Linear zplane: 50 width: 3710 height: 3838

    [Gatan K2 Counting] class: dmsem.GatanK2Counting zplane: 50 width: 3710 height: 3838

    [Gatan K2 Super] class: dmsem.GatanK2Super zplane: 50 width: 7420 height: 7676

If you have an Orius camera with K2, set its zplane below K2 like this:

[camera2]
class: dmsem.GatanOrius
zplane: 49
width: 2048
height: 2048
