TriMerge

Merging TEM tilt series to make a full 3D dataset

TriMerge provides tools for the combining of data obtained from a tilt series of electron micrographs into a full three-dimensional data set.

The conversion occurs in reciprocal space. Fourier transforms of the tilt series, analysed by our sister product CRISP, are combined by TriMerge into a three dimensional Fourier transform sampled in the third dimension. TriMerge also contains routines for the calculation of the full three dimensional structure, and output of the reconstructed map in a format suitable for input to TriView, our PC product for three-dimensional viewing. TriMerge runs under Windows on a PC.

Key Features

  • combines data from tilted views into a 3D density map
  • determine scaling and phase origin relationships at the press of a button
  • interpolate the data in the third dimension
  • convert continuous lattice lines into a sampled FT in a matter of seconds
  • calculate the inverse FT to produce a full three dimensional reconstructed structure, suitable for rapid and convenient viewing on the PC screen with TriView
