CRISP
Image processing of electron micrographs
|
|
CRISP
uses the techniques of crystallographic image processing to extract information from electron micrographs. The techniques are fully applicable to any crystallographic specimen, inorganic, organic or biological.
|
|
Easy to use, Productive, Fast
CRISP is easy to install, easy to learn and fast to use. The automatic installation
procedure takes only minutes, and we can assure you that you will produce
useful results on the same day as you receive it. CRISP uses an intuitive
Windows interface, and all common commands are immediately available
through a toolbar. Extensive on-line help is available at the click of the mouse.

Crystallographic averaging gives a vastly increased signal to noise ratio which can be further increased by application of crystallographic symmetry.

Full three dimensional information can be retrieved by CRISP by processing the
micrographs in a tilt series. Click to see the information about our 3D products - TriMerge, and TriView.
Further, advanced processing techniques in the Fourier transform allow correction
for the effects of the contrast transfer function, defocus levels and astigmatism.

On the left is shown an original micrograph of K7Nb15W13O80. The smaller
panel in the centre shows the same micrograph after reconstruction. Now the atom positions (black spots) are clearly visible. On the right is the calculated Fourier transform, showing the level of focus and astigmatism in the image.

Analysis of dislocations

On the left: the original image, on the right the filtered image after processing by CRISP. A dislocation is clearly seen at 9 o'clock.
