NUScope Studio¶
A browser application for the whole workflow. It runs on your own computer; nothing leaves it.
| Area | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Library | Browse and search the data folder, drop files from your computer, browse a Globus collection. Opened files and the results made from them are listed under Open, linked to their source. |
| Viewer | Calibrated scale bar (nm, µm, mm, or 1/µm for FFTs), colour bar, colour maps including Northwestern purple, contrast with a live histogram, gamma and log display, position and value under the cursor, frame slider for stacks. |
| Spectrum images and 4D-STEM | A summed image is shown; the pick tool shows the EELS spectrum or the diffraction pattern at the clicked pixel. |
| Info | Instrument, beam, optics, acquisition and sample cards, and the full original metadata as a searchable tree. |
| Analyze | Noise and contrast, denoise, background removal, Fourier transform, radial profile, particles (outlines drawn on the image), line profile, pixel-size correction and binning. Results stay with the dataset they came from. |
| History | The seal check (each part and each signature, with whether you trust the key), the provenance timeline, source files with SHA-256, PROV-JSON download. Create your signing identity here. |
| Save and export | .h5, .nxs, .tif or .zarr, sealed and signed; figures as PNG, PDF, TIFF or SVG with scale bar; an RO-Crate zip. Exports go to nuscope_exports/ in the data folder. |
Light and dark themes follow your system and can be switched in the header. Open datasets survive a page reload; a file that changed on disk is read again when reopened.
Options: --port, --host (default 127.0.0.1; keep it local unless you know who can reach the port).
