Not sure if it helps your issue but…: I’ve used pretty much the IMAGIC-based approach referenced from Marin & Sayan to remove scale bars from NSEM images. Works great!

Good luck,
Jonny

Dear All

This discussion is about camera correction!  It is an excellent example of what goes wrong when the camera correction is not performed as it should be.
The very strong residual line is not sufficiently removed and thus becomes a dominant feature that causes misalignments!
We published an extensive story about how to do it correctly:  A posteriori correction of camera characteristics from large image data sets
A free download!  https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nature.com/articles/srep10317__;!!Mih3wA!DH1SapiufDjN7zC2feFY5qzQUMhalzEwJh1OxVae-L1Ht8uS9aAmPYDtz0uQhPT-aOxhgNCbEWnj7tRYrvI$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.nature.com/articles/srep10317__;!!Mih3wA!C3bS10PG03zyLhYhXhrKTB0CcoLJNSOqRriiA6Iu9Cbmzxe60LhluyMp6KZ2MrH-MAQ_ynhNrHuYr1LbkU10WYPA2MR8Sg$>
It is a standard procedure in the IMAGIC software system.  There is also a specific Camera correction GUI being prepared by Image Science GmbH  Berlin

Cheers,
Marin  and Sayan

Hi Takanori and 3dem community,


I hope everyone is well. I wanted to join the discussion Ji-Joon raised in our 3dem community. I thank Ji-Joon for raising this important topic.
I'm part of the same institute as Ji-Joon, and I share his concerns about the potential impact of a certain defect, particularly in the context of cryo-ET.

Our data analysis has revealed some peculiar 2D classes with particles clustering along the defect line. Unfortunately, due to the defect's central location on the display, we anticipate a significant loss of particles. However, for single particle analysis, we do have the option to exclude these unusual particle images (I attached a figure showing this).

However, how about cryo-ET? Given that the defect is situated in the central area, avoiding it during data collection is not feasible. This is especially concerning as, during cryo-ET, we need to capture tilt series, where objects undergo substantial movement with varying tilt angles. This raises questions about the quality of the data we can obtain.

Our resource center staff have invested a significant amount of effort in establishing a state-of-the-art 300keV cryo-EM facility on campus, and we are determined to make the most of this valuable resource. Therefore, we are eager to find a solution that ensures we can collect the highest quality cryo-ET data without the interference of defects.

I would appreciate your valuable insights and advice on how we can effectively address this issue. Your expertise and perspectives would be greatly appreciated in helping us optimize the use of our cryo-EM facility and advance our research goals. (Of course, if possible, we would like to request a new camera chip...)

Thank you in advance for your contributions to this discussion, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter.

Best regards,
Jin Young

Hi,

 > can you inform me how I can set defective lines to have 0s in the
gain reference?

If the camera software is aware of the defect lines,
the values in the gain reference should be zero.
But different versions of the camera software may behave differently.
Please ask your TFS support staff.

Alternatively, you can read the gain reference (.gain is a TIFF file),
set 0, and write it back by a simple Python script.

Best regards,

Takanori Nakane
