Getting started

This guide takes you from the installer to asking the assistant about the Digital Twin.

Install

1. Open Microscopy Hackathon 3-<version>-arm64.dmg and drag the app to Applications.
2. Open the app. The first launch downloads the assistant and Python packages, so it needs internet access and can take a few minutes. Later launches take seconds.

The workspace opens when setup finishes. The default model is HU LLM, which needs no personal key.

Connect the Digital Twin

1. Press Cmd+, to open the control panel, then choose Microscopes.
2. Next to Digital twin, select Register and wait for Waiting for your approval.
3. Select Approve. The workspace restarts.
4. Under Instruments in the workspace sidebar, tick your twin.

The twin stays registered. After restarting the app it shows Registered, offline: select Connect to bring it back.

Prepare the twin

Select Digital twin in the workspace header. The twin starts cold, so on its page:

1. Insert the specimen holder and wait for the vacuum.
2. Open the column valves and switch the beam on.

Ask the assistant

Try one of these:

• Which microscope is selected, and what is its status?
• Read the current defocus.
• Measure the beam.

Change language or model

• Language: workspace Settings, at the bottom of the sidebar. English is the default.
• Model: the selector under the message box, or Settings → Models.

Next

• Register another microscope
• Write your own plugin
• Troubleshooting
