A new age of electron microscopy: Magnifying possibilities with automation
“We now have a way for people to interact with a detector on one side and a supercomputer on the other side with a simple webpage called Distiller in the middle,” said Peter Ercius, interim facility director of the National Center for Electron Microscopy (NCEM) at Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Foundry. “We’re moving towards getting huge amounts of data processed in an automated way with minimal human intervention.”
