mag_distortion

Description

mag_distortion_estimate is used to estimate magnification distortions in electron micrographs using images of polycrystalline samples such as gold shadowed diffraction gratings. The measured distortion at a particular magnification can then be corrected in images of the sample using mag_distortion_correct. Both programs read images that are stored in MRC/CCP4 format.
Usage
To list all executables provided by mag_distortion, run: $ sbgrid-list mag_distortion
Installation
Use the following command to install this title with the CLI client: $ sbgrid-cli install mag_distortion Available operating systems: Linux 64
