Zeiss SEM to txt
Description
The SEM to txt component is able to intelligently extract metadata from microscopy metadata files generated through research by employing the Python Hyperspy library. This component’s main functionality is its generation of a summary of the extracted metadata for a set of images, therefore providing the user with an overview of all of the metadata for each uploaded image in an accessible and usable table format. The columns correspond to the entries in the existing SEM schema, while the rows are the individual images in the uploaded directory.
The tool has some limitations; some older SEM instruments are unable to embed the metadata in the
TIFF files, and therefore an automatic
extraction is not possible. If this is the case, the errant image is simply omitted from the summary
table.
The output is a comma-separated .txt file,
which can be easily converted into a 2-dimensional array and processed by popular data analysis
software (such as Microsoft Excel or MATLAB).
