Autoscript 4 Software for scanning electron microscopy and FIB SEM

Automation software packages for electron/ion microscopy like Thermo Scientific Maps and Thermo Scientific Auto Slice and View are great for making collection of standard imaging techniques easy. However, working to achieve cutting edge research goals or to meet specific industrial requirements is seldom standard.

Industrial automation as well as fundamental research often requires advanced techniques for imaging and analysis that cannot be covered in the scope of general purpose software.

Automated electron microscopy and FIB SEM imaging

Thermo Scientific AutoScript 4 Software is the customization toolkit for electron and ion microscopy. Built around Python, Autoscript Software provides you the power to automate imaging and associated processing pipelines built to solve specific research questions.

AutoScript Software:

  • Provides a direct link between research needs and microscope automation
  • Enables improved reproducibility and accuracy
  • Focuses time on the microscope for higher throughput

Integrated IDE

An integrated development environment (IDE) makes it easy to get up and running with AutoScript Software. Object browsing and syntax tools with auto completion are all included to ensure a rich user experience and rapid, consistent scripting framework.

Python

Harness the power of your microscope using the most popular scientific programming language. Autoscript Software is built on Python 3.5 and includes a number of pre-installed libraries for scientific computing, data analysis, data visualization, image processing, and machine learning.

 

Scripting toolbox

AutoScript 4 Software comes bundled with a set of commonly needed, prebuilt routines. Not starting from scratch means more time to focus on developing the scripts that define the unique workflow for your research.

Fundamental Materials Research

Novel materials are investigated at increasingly smaller scales for maximum control of their physical and chemical properties. Electron microscopy provides researchers with key insight into a wide variety of material characteristics at the micro- to nano-scale.

 


Techniques

3D Materials Characterization

Development of materials often requires multi-scale 3D characterization. DualBeam instruments enable serial sectioning of large volumes and subsequent SEM imaging at nanometer scale, which can be processed into high-quality 3D reconstructions of the sample.

Multi-scale analysis

Novel materials must be analyzed at ever higher resolution while retaining the larger context of the sample. Multi-scale analysis allows for the correlation of various imaging tools and modalities such as X-ray microCT, DualBeam, Laser PFIB, SEM and TEM.
