Automatic Status Checks and Recovery for Tundra Microscope

Abstract

The recent popularity of Single Particle Analysis (SPA) has increased the demand for simplified electron microscope (EM) workflows so that scientists can focus on discovering new proteins and protein complex structures instead of learning microscopy [1]. Such democratization requires the microscope to be easy to use. However, the current state of the art in EM still has a lengthy training requirement that can include optical alignment procedures with an understanding of microscope hardware as a prerequisite.
