When I started on my journey into microscopy in 2020, the initial aim was to make a UV transmission microscope for my research into sunscreens (previously written about in Crowther, 2021). Very soon I found myself in need of something to help me determine the resolution of my microscope and this was where I was introduced to the wonderful world of diatoms.
abTEM is a pure Python code for running simulations of (scanning) transmission electron microscopy images using the multi -slice or PRISM algorithms. It is open-source, blazing fast, and extremely versatile and easy to extend.
