AutoLamella is a python package for automated cryo-lamella preparation with focused ion beam milling. It is based on openFIBSEM, and currently supports the TESCAN Automation SDK and ThermoFisher AutoScript. Support for other FIBSEM systems is planned.
Create a new virtual environment from the Anaconda Prompt terminal:
conda create -n fibsem python=3.9 pip
conda activate fibsem
pip install autolamella
Open the Anaconda Prompt terminal and run the following commands.
conda activate fibsem
autolamella_ui
To launch liftout related methods:
conda activate fibsem
autoliftout_ui
