EM Rendering - Parameters¶
In this section, we will cover what all of the different options in the EM renderer are, and what they do.
Base Parameters¶
This section covers the base parameters needed to get the Virtual Microscope to render anything.
In future sections, we will discuss optional parameters that you can use to tweak to change the final image, such as the addition of noise.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
PixelResolution_um |
X,Y size of each pixel in the final image in micrometers |
ImageWidth_px |
X resolution of each final output image |
ImageHeight_px |
Y resolution of each final output image |
SliceThickness_um |
Z-height of each slice in micrometers |
ScanRegionOverlap_percent |
Amount that each image overlaps in percentages of the image size |
MicroscopeFOV_deg |
Currently unused, will be added in a future version |
NumPixelsPerVoxel_px |
Allows for a sort of 'zoom', probably leave this at 1 |
Example
Here is an example configuration that will render a series of 512x512 images at 10 nanometers per pixel, with a slice thickness of 20 nanometers.
EMConfig = NES.VSDA.EM.Configuration()
EMConfig.PixelResolution_um = 0.01
EMConfig.ImageWidth_px = 512
EMConfig.ImageHeight_px = 512
EMConfig.SliceThickness_um = 0.02
EMConfig.ScanRegionOverlap_percent = 0
EMConfig.MicroscopeFOV_deg = 50
EMConfig.NumPixelsPerVoxel_px = 1
VSDAEMInstance = MySim.AddVSDAEM(EMConfig)
