Achieve precise, stable two-axis control for accurate sample alignment and reproducible in situ experiments.

Hummingbird Scientific’s Double Tilt Control Software enables precise two-axis positioning of samples during in situ electron microscopy experiments. The software provides independent control of tilt axes, allowing users to accurately align samples and navigate complex orientations in real time.

Designed for double tilt TEM holders, the system allows researchers to make fine adjustments to sample position while monitoring tilt angles and system response. This enables accurate alignment for imaging, diffraction, and analytical workflows.

Whether optimizing sample orientation for high-resolution imaging, performing tilt-series experiments, or aligning regions of interest, the software provides the precision and stability required for advanced in situ microscopy studies.

Why Researchers Choose Hummingbird Scientific

Hummingbird Scientific’s double tilt software is designed specifically for in situ electron microscopy, providing precise control and reliable integration with holder hardware.

Unlike generic positioning systems, this software is tightly coupled with Hummingbird double tilt holders, ensuring accurate tilt positioning, smooth operation, and consistent performance. The interface enables intuitive control of both tilt axes, allowing users to quickly align samples and adjust positioning during experiments.

With real-time feedback, stable control, and seamless hardware integration, the software supports both routine alignment tasks and advanced experimental workflows requiring precise sample orientation.

Software Features

Two-Axis Tilt Control and Precision Positioning

The software provides direct control over two independent tilt axes, allowing users to adjust sample orientation with high precision.

Users can control tilt angles incrementally and make fine adjustments during experiments, enabling accurate alignment of samples for imaging or analysis. The system allows real-time adjustments without interrupting the workflow, supporting efficient positioning and navigation.

Control inputs are designed to provide smooth and responsive movement, ensuring precise positioning across the full tilt range.

Flexible Tilt Control for Different Workflows

The software supports flexible control approaches for different positioning and experimental needs.

Users can make continuous adjustments to tilt angles or step incrementally between positions, enabling both fine alignment and larger orientation changes. This flexibility supports workflows such as tilt alignment, diffraction positioning, and tilt-series experiments.

These modes allow researchers to adapt positioning strategies depending on the requirements of their experiment.

Coordinated Dual-Axis Alignment Control

The software enables coordinated control of both tilt axes, allowing users to precisely align samples in two dimensions.

This capability is particularly useful for targeting specific regions of interest, aligning crystal orientations, or positioning samples for diffraction and analytical techniques. Adjustments can be made across both axes in a controlled and repeatable manner, improving alignment accuracy and efficiency.

By providing coordinated two-axis control, the software simplifies complex positioning tasks and supports more precise experimental setups.

Real-Time Tilt Monitoring and Feedback

The software continuously monitors tilt position and displays real-time feedback during operation.

Users can track tilt angles as they are adjusted, allowing precise alignment and reproducibility between experiments. This real-time visibility helps ensure accuracy and stability when positioning samples.

The interface provides clear feedback on current orientation, enabling users to quickly verify positioning and make adjustments as needed.

Integrated with Hummingbird Double Tilt Holders

The software is designed to work directly with Hummingbird Scientific double tilt TEM holders and controllers.

This integration ensures accurate positioning, reliable communication, and consistent system performance. The software provides real-time feedback on system status, allowing users to confidently control sample orientation during experiments.

Because the software and hardware are designed together, setup is streamlined and positioning workflows are intuitive and efficient.

Tilt Position Data and Experiment Tracking

The software records tilt position data during operation, providing a time-resolved record of sample orientation throughout the experiment.

Data Collection

Tilt angles for both axes are recorded as a function of time, allowing users to track changes in sample orientation.

Visualization

Tilt position is displayed in real time within the interface, enabling users to monitor adjustments and verify alignment.

Export

Data can be exported in standard formats such as CSV for further analysis or documentation of experimental conditions.

Data Management

Users can reset and record tilt data across multiple sessions, making it easy to compare positioning between experiments.
