About

The MicroED tools (RRID:SCR_021179; rebranded from TVIPS tools in 0.1.0-dev.4) convert sequences of related electron diffraction images, or MicroED sweeps, to the Super Marty View (SMV) format. As of 0.1.0-dev.6, statically compiled 64-bit Intel executables for Linux and macOS are no longer distributed from this site. However, since 2022-05-12 the tools and their dependencies can be obtained from conda-forge on Linux, macOS, and Windows. To install the software in an up-to-date conda (version 4.9 or later) environment, first configure conda-forge as the highest-priority channel under strict priority:

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict

This needs to be done only once. Then use conda install to get the desired package. The tools are also included in the SBGrid collection.

Development snapshots

Snapshots are not as thoroughly tested as stable releases. To install the most recent experimental snapshot in an up-to-date conda environment, use:

conda install conda-forge/label/microed-tools_dev::microed-tools
