[3dem] Tietz & FEI

[reinhard rachel]

Hi Daniel et al.,

> software such as Leginon or SerialEM).  

for both, FEI and JEOL TEM's: This is also our experience, and knowledge (as of fall 2011). 

> Fei makes a difference between

Yes, they do. 

> I think the Tietz cameras are in the second group. 
yes, true

> However, you can still use

YES, by using an external PC and TVIPS software (at least, which now includes / supports tomo, single particle data collection, and EELS/EFTEM).

we had a similar experience. 
kind regards!
