Description
EBSP Indexer is a graphical user interface that allows for processing and indexing of Electron backscatter patterns,
generated by scanning electron microscopes. Its goal is to make the rich functionality of the open-source library kikuchipy
more accessible to users, without requiring knowledge of python or the library itself.
The GUI currently supports:
- Dictionary Indexing (powered by kikuchipy) and Hough Indexing (powered by PyEBSDIndex)
- Refinement of Orientations in a crystal map (powered by kikuchipy)
- Inspection of patterns before and after indexing
- Signal improvements (powered by kikuchipy)
- Multiple approaches for calibrating pattern/projection center
- Cropping of datasets
- Pre- and post-indexing maps
- Terminal witch access to python environment
Known issues:
- macOS might experience leaked semaphores when creating images in threads,
e.g. Inverse Pole Figure Map in Hough Indexing. As of now, it is recommended to run
indexing without generating images on Mac.
- When saving a merged crystal map in the case where only one phase is identified,
save will fail since a crystal map with the same name exists already.
Minimum requirements:
- Windows 10/11 **or** macOS 13 (Ventura)
- x86_64-based CPU (arm64 chipset is experimental)
Installation (Windows):
- Download and run EBSP_Indexer_0.2.0_Win_x86_install.exe, and follow the installation instructions.
Installation (macOS):
- Download and unpack EBSP_Indexer_0.1.0_macOS_x86_64.zip, and run the application.
Technical info (English)
Version 0.2.0
This new release is an update to support kikuchipy v0.9.0 and PyEBSDIndex v.0.2, which allows for Hough Indexing of patterns that have a non-cubic crystal structure. There is also a new menu for checking versions of some installed libraries, some new default options available in settings, and some fixes.
Unfortunately, this release only includes an installer for Windows.
See the newly added changelog for more changes !
