EM Rendering - Presets

In this guide, we will cover each of the different presets provided by BrainGenix. You can of course, use these presets as a base and tweak them to your liking and use case.

Examples

We assume that you have already setup a simulation and created one or more compartments that you wish to render.

The base preset is just a starting point and is not modeled off of any specific microscopes.

To use this, simply do the following:

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)

Which yields:

Default Render Example

The Krap preset is a starting point for a bad microscope - where there is a lot of noise, interference patterns, out-of-focus, etc.

To use this, simply do the following:

EMConfig = NES.VSDA.EM.KrapMicroscope()
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)

Which yields:
