"Magnification" slider control. This is to show why it is
not a good idea to do HRTEM at x1,000,000 magnification and why
sometimes pictures taken at x200,000 look better than those taken at
x500,000

Service release
0.99b5 (18 August 2001)
User interface improvements and other fixes
Extended list of microscopes
Added in 0.99b6 (5 December 2001)
Euro-bug removed. When installed on a computer with a Windows locale which uses a comma instead of a point as a decimal separator, ctfExplorer would rise an
exception when one selects a microscope from the list.
Now it's fixed but one must use a point '.' as the
decimal separator e.g. when editing a microscope. I.e. always write 1.3 instead of 1,3 etc.
Added in 0.999a (10 February 2002)
Corrected
an error in the formula used for Focal Spread calculation which caused
too strong damping by temporal envelope at high frequencies.
Thanks to Michael O'Keefe, Peter Tiemeijer and Uwe Lucken for
pinpointing this.
Added a posibility to change number for High Tension and Objective
Lens current instabilities (along with chromatic aberration and energy
spread they affect the value of focal spread).
Added a possibility of editing/saving/restoring of the microscope
list.
That's it. A shortcut to ctfExplorer is placed to the top part of
Windows Start menu.

If you have problems accessing the help system then see below.
Note: ctfExplorer help system is designed in MS
HTML Help format which relies on Internet Explorer's layout engine for its
functionality. A full version of the browser should be installed on the end user's system.
Version 4.x (or higher) is recommended for full HTML Help functionality.
ctfExplorer will not function properly
(crashes on exit) without MS
HTML Help system installed.
If you have Internet Explorer 4.x (or higher) on your system but the ctfExplorer help still doesn't work (it should work fine under
Windows 98-2000) then try to:
Recommended: at least 1024x768, High color display settings, looks better
with "Small Fonts" setting
Reasonably fast computer. On my ancient AMD K6 350MHz with 64Mb RAM, 2d CTF
takes about 4 sec to calculate. Less than 1 sec on AMD Athlon 900MHz.
Doesn't take any time at all on Athlon 2600+
MS Internet Explorer Version 4 (or higher) is recommended for HTML Help
functionality.
