AXON STUDIO: STREAMLINED DATA PROCESSING

AXON Studio provides researchers with advanced tools to efficiently analyze, organize, and share both in situ and conventional TEM data. Its intuitive interface simplifies the review of thousands of TEM images, enabling users to quickly identify the most critical data. By eliminating the primary challenges of post-processing, AXON Studio streamlines workflows and enhances productivity. Additionally, it fosters seamless collaboration among both local and remote colleagues, promoting meaningful and productive discussions.

EXPLORE FASTER

Plot and filter data in innovative ways to quickly locate key information and effortlessly identify trends.

SHARE EASIER

AXON Studio is a free download, enabling colleagues and stakeholders to conduct their own in-depth analyses and engage in more productive discussions

PUBLISH SOONER

Image stack and video export capabilities allow for the creation of data-rich visuals and videos, all in one platform, ready for publication

EXAMPLES USING THE AXON SOFTWARE

FILTER FOR FAST SEARCHING

All experimental metadata is indexed, meaning you can use any parameter to filter your data and find the most important information quickly. Filter by temperature, voltage, gas composition, magnification, or take advantage of AXON’s unique metadata to find the most dynamic or the best focused images in an instant. 

 

In this video: Several parameters are chosen as potential filters. Data was subsequently filtered between -0.4V and +0.4V. Remaining images corresponding to that range are seen along the timeline, while other data is greyed out. This quickly highlights the 4,923 images out of the 16,542 acquired within the target voltage range. 

GET ORGANIZED USING COLLECTIONS

Create subsets of data that are meaningful by using “collections”. This is a quick way to organize large amounts of data once you have identified the most important parts. Very similar to creating photo albums within your phone, collections help group data without duplicating and prepare datasets for sharing or publishing to a video. 

 

In this video: Electrochemical data is highlighted during plating reactions. This subset of data is then placed in its own collection for easy identification and to prepare the dataset for sharing with a colleague. 

SHARE LARGE DATASETS EASILY 

The Pack-and-Share feature enables you to quickly reduce the size of a subset of data and zip up the file to share with your colleagues and collaborators. They will receive the images and all indexed metadata, including any attached files, notes, and tags, for a productive discussion. Since AXON Studio is free for all, all colleagues can visualize the data in the same manner. 

 

In this video: A collection that was created including >5000 images and metadata points was reduced in size, zipped and automatically prepared for sending to a collaborator. 

DATA LABELING AND ORGANIZATION

While processing data, use tags to label parts of your session for better organization and easier retrieval later. These tags can be filtered and serve as helpful notes on the timeline, making it easier to share and explain your experiment to colleagues or (external) collaborators.

 

In this video: a section of data is labeled “First application of voltage,” with the tag appearing at the bottom of the timeline for easy recognition. Tags can also be easily removed if added by mistake or deemed unnecessary.

INTEGRATED ANALYSIS TOOLS

Studio offers various analysis tools, including measurement tools, live FFT view, customizable plotting, and a notebook with file management. These tools are accessible to anyone viewing a dataset in Studio, enabling thorough analysis and productive team discussions.

 

In this video: The notebook and file management tools are shown, which allow you to upload notes, images, PDFs, videos, and more to document details, reference papers, and record techniques used. It also demonstrates the plotting feature, used to plot any metadata recorded. The video concludes with a look at the live FFT tool for analyzing structural changes.

PUBLISH VIDEOS AND IMAGE STACKS

The publish tool enables you to create images stacks and videos all within the same software. Apply rolling and blocked averages, choose from several different files types (all FAIR/RDM approved), apply overlays, and more. Create the ideal set of images or video for your publication, presentation or report with just a few clicks of your mouse. 

 

In this video: Data from a phase transformation is published, providing a clear and detailed visualization of the process. Several overlays are added to enhance understanding, including biasing information displayed directly on the video. Additionally, an IV plot is included alongside the video, offering real-time correlation between the visualized transformation and the electrical data.
