title: Processing of electron diffraction patterns acquired on a slow-scan CCD camera.
abstract: We have developed two software packages for the processing of electron diffraction patterns acquired on a slow-scan CCD camera. Automated indexing and processing of these electron diffraction patterns is possible using a program called AUTO. To obtain a set of reliable reflections, AUTO applies a number of corrections, which are necessary due to the acquisition of the patterns with a slow-scan CCD camera. To index and process unknown lattices in electron diffraction patterns obtained from, for instance, a new protein or a new crystal form, an interactive program called EDP is available. It supports indexing in an interactive manner through a graphical user interface. Processing of the electron diffraction pattern is done using a script created by EDP. Both packages run on UNIX platforms, with EDP requiring the X Window System.
