Overview

During this one-week workshop we will cover the basics of data handling in HyperSpy and then provide example work-flows for typical datasets that Users acquire at ePSIC. This will include spectroscopy datasets in STEM, i.e. spectrum images with EELS and / or EDXS, and also large 4D-STEM datasets acquired using the Medipix detector on E02. Machine learning toolboxes available within HyperSpy and their application on various data types will also be discussed. We will cover two packages dedicated to 4D-STEM data analysis, PyXEM and py4DSTEM, and a simulation package, abTEM.

We will have ample time for participants to discuss their own specific data analysis questions, with a dedicated “Bring your own data” session towards the end of the workshop.

Topics

The following topics will be covered over the duration of the workshop:

  • Introduction to HyperSpy
  • Python / hyperspy basics
  • Principal component analysis
  • Electron microscopy image simulation (using abTEM)
  • Energy dispersive X-ay
  • Electron energy loss spectroscopy data analysis 
  • Atomic resolution image analysis (atomap)
  • Electron nano-beam diffraction analysis (PyXEM and Py4DSTEM)
