This package contains a series of programs along with a library, mostly written in fortran-90, for the computation and visualization of electron microscopy images and diffraction patterns. The programs can be used as standalone command-line programs, and produce binary output files that can then be visualized using IDL routines (Interactive Data Language).
As of Friday November 13, 2015, CTEMsoft 2.0 is no longer supported. The SEM portion of this package has been completely rewritten and is made available as the new EMsoft 3.0 package here on GitHub. The TEM portion of CTEMsoft 2.0 will be rewritten during the coming months and will become part of EMsoft 3.2 in the Fall of 2016.
Current development of this package is supported by an AFOSR/MURI grant, FA9550-12-1-0458; the original EBSD code was developed with support from an ONR grant, N00014-12-1-0075
Source codes are here on GitHub.
The code uses the CMake approach for compilation, and requires the gfortran compiler [tested on Mac and PC; Intel compiler on PC currently being tested]. A CMake run will produce a library and a series of executables. The package requires the BLAS and LAPACK libraries, so you should install those before compilation.
Feedback on the code and visualization routines is always welcome!
Precompiled binaries, manuals, and IDL Virtual Machine apps, are located at Here; they are known to work on OS X 10.8.9 and 10.9.3
This code has a long history. The very first version was written in the mid-1990s in fortran-77 and contained only a few simple crystallography and diffraction routines. Around 2000, all the code was ported to fortran-90, and served as the basis for a TEM textbook (Introduction to Conventional Transmission Electron Microscopy, M. De Graef, 2003 Cambridge University Press). Since 2003, many additions have been made. During 2013, I was on sabbatical at the Ohio State University (Center for Electron Microscopy and MicroAnalysis), and the entire package was rewritten, visualization routines were created, all of which resulted in the present Release; most importantly, we started to add developers (it was pretty much a one-man-party until then), and the source code is now managed by a private git-repository, from which we will periodically push to github.com.
