Fig. 6: Maximum data acquisition time of 1 TB of movie-mode TEM without data reduction and compression.
From: A data reduction and compression description for high throughput time-resolved electron microscopy
Each cell’s horizontal and vertical grid position marks the temporal resolution (or, equivalently, frame rate) and frame size of a hypothetical movie-mode data acquisition scenario, respectively. A cell’s text and color indicates the time taken to acquire one terabyte (TB) of data at that frame size and temporal resolution without reduction and compression. For larger frames and high temporal resolution (top right corner), acquisitions lasting merely tens of seconds already produce 1 TB of data. With a 95× reduction in data size the same experiment can span 20 times longer, enabling the observation of millisecond dynamics in reactions that span several minutes. The yellow dots show a few of the frame size-frame rate combinations available for the DE-16 detector.
