Processing In-Situ Data

The success of in-situ experiments depends not just on the experimental design but also on converting vast quantities of raw data into publication-quality results.

Gatan’s IS Player is a powerful set of data processing tools to help you focus on key results. It’s included in Gatan Microscopy Suite (GMS). IS Player makes it easy to perform tasks such as:

  • Opening and playing back large in-situ datasets.
  • Reducing data size.
  • Applying drift correction.
  • Filtering datasets with data or alignment filters.
  • Saving data as video.
