The HoloMicroscope™ App provides relevant information to individuals or groups of expert microscopists during live microscope sessions. For example, if an unknown atomic structure is observed, 3D crystal models and corresponding simulated scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) images can be viewed and switched quickly. Models and image simulations are pre-calculated and available at the push of a button. Other assistance features such as simulated energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) spectra and peak identification, voice-activated data viewing, and image similarity analyses will also be available.
The periodic table in the app is based on data from https://iupac.org/what-we-do/periodic-table-of-elements/.
The simulated STEM images and diffraction patterns in the app were generated with custom Python code that uses the following software libraries and data sources:
[1] The Materials Project (https://materialsproject.org)
[2] abTEM (https://abtem.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html)
[3] Prismatic (https://prism-em.com/)
