HREM-Filters are sophisticated Wiener and Difference filters that extract a periodic feature from the noisy image. Since our filters can use locally-estimated two-dimensional background, they work even for non-ideal crystals, such as a nano-crystal or cylindrical crystal (as shown in the Flier). Furthermore, the iterative filters based on the random noise model for the background effectively reduce the shot noise (random noise/white noise) keeping non-periodic features. This is especially effective for a low-dose (S)TEM image.

Up-sampling
Another feature of HREM-Filters is up-sampling filter. The data acquisition is often performed at a high magnification to obtain good looking images. Using upsampling, the data acquisition can be done at the optimum lower magnification. Read More

Realtime module (the license for Realtime module is required)
This module performs up-sampling noise filter in live, and reveals the sample structure even from a single frame at extremely low dose. Read More

Using the up-sampling, you can see a smooth sample structure even when the original image is taken with the sampling interval close to the Nyquist limit. Therefore, this module will accelerate the low-dose experiment in (S)TEM. If the final image size is large, you can select a small area, say 256×256 pixels, for a quick real-time processing.

Example Even at a dose rate as low as 0.25 el/pix/frame, you can observed the sample structure without accumulating the frames. The sample is MOF (Metal Organic Framework), and the image is acquired with a Gatan K2 camera working at Electron Counting mode. (see the Reference below (IMC20) for more details)

HREM-Filters Lite (free pulg-in)
When you install the HREM-Filters Lite, you can use some basic features of the <HREM-Filters Pro> and <Realtime-module> free of charge.
