Abstract
A user interface rendered on a display of a microscopy system provides a workflow for acquiring a survey of 2D projection images at two different angles and then uses a region of interest (ROI) tool that can move around the images to locate the center of the rotational axis in all 3 dimensions (X, Y, Z).
Claims13
A user interface rendered on a display of an X-ray microscopy system including a computer that processes projection data from the X-ray-microscopy system, the user interface:
- displaying 2D projection images of a sample taken at two different rotational angles that are defined with respect to a rotational axis that is perpendicular or declined to an X-ray beam generated by an X-ray source subsystem and detected by a detector subsystem;
- and
- displaying a region of interest (ROI) tool that is moved by user using user interface devices around the images to select at least one ROI and/or locate a center of the rotational axis of a sample table of the X-ray microscopy system.
A user interface rendered on a display of an X-ray microscopy system including a computer that processes projection data of a sample from the microscopy system to reconstruct a tomography, the user interface:
- enabling the acquisition of the tomography of sample;
- enabling creating, moving and sizing of one or more regions of interest for multiple tomographies with a ROI tool;
- and
- displaying the tomography along with the ROI tool in 3D volume planes to locate the center of the tomography, wherein the ROI of the sample is moved to the rotational axis that is perpendicular or declined to a beam generated by an X-ray source subsystem and detected by a detector subsystem.
