IMPRESS Workshop on Automated TEM: Software, Data Management and Advanced Analysis

Together with CERIC-ERIC, Euro-BioImaging is happy to invite you all to the next IMPRESS workshop on Automated TEM: Software, Data Management and Advanced Analysis. The workshop will take place online on Monday April 13, 2026 from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM CET and it will feature presentations on recent technological developments in TEM with interactive sessions designed to gather feedback from the community. Participants will be invited to contribute ideas and perspectives that may help shape future directions in the field. 

Session details

Automating magnetic reversal experiment in the TEM using Python - Kristian Tveitstøl (NTNU)
During this session, an open-source python software for magnetic imaging will be presented and demonstrated for in-situ STEM-DPC of a magnetic reversal process in a permalloy nanomagnet array. This includes using the remanent field from the objective lens as an applied external magnetic field, and both rotating and tilting the sample to control the direction and magnitude of this field.

From Atoms to Digital Twins: Automated (S)TEM Workflows for Quantum Devices and Other Applications - Ivan Pinto (ICN2) and Marc Botifoll (FZJ): Atomic-resolution (S)TEM is central to understanding how defects and interfaces control device performance, but the full pipeline from raw images to quantitative, device-relevant insights remains painfully slow and expertdependent. In this live presentation and handson tutorial, we introduce a physicsguided AI workflow that automates holistic (S)TEM analysis,from crystallography and strain mapping to 3D digital twin generation of realistic heterostructures. During the session, we will run these tools live: loading experimental data, denoising it, extracting structural and strain fields, and generating digital twins ready for downstream simulations.

Modama-agent: user-friendly data management in the lab - Alexander Clausen (FZJ) : Electron microscopes these days are heterogeneous and sometimes complicated IT systems. They come with a local lab network, and often with devices from multiple vendors that generate experimental data. We propose a user-friendly data ingestion system, which integrates all data generating systems of a lab network, enables easier automation of experiments and streamlines research data management at the microscope.

Who Should Attend?

The workshop welcomes both IMPRESS consortium partners and external participants with an interest in Transmission Electron Microscopy. This includes researchers, microscope operators and users, as well as industry representatives, technology developers, IT specialists, and members of the wider scientific and technical community. 

It is particularly relevant for those interested in recent developments in automation, data management, and advanced analysis in TEM, and for anyone looking to engage with emerging approaches and contribute their perspective to ongoing discussions in the field.
