Visual bug in import movies

[ctueting]

Hi cryoSPARC dev,

i recently went through some extensive reprocessing (due to bad usage of rm -rf) and I think, there is a visual bug in import movies.

In the thumbnails, 3 exemplary micrographs are shown, and the third is always ‘zoomed in’:

Is this a bug or a feature?

Because it’s confusing and leaves the impression, that the actual micrographs are at different pixel size, even though, they are not.

Hi @ctueting,

Thanks for pointing this out. There is a bug here, but it’s not the one that there seems to be . The three plots are supposed to be the same micrograph, at three different magnification levels. We’ve noticed however that if the movies are square with a frame size that is a power of two, the first two images will be the same. We will fix this in some future release.

I love the little zoom feature. Although that might be because the ice contamination in one of the earlier datasets we ran in CryoSPARC, the “zoom” image looks kind of like a bird sitting on a branch.

Which, when I see that in the tile view on that system, never fails to make me smile. Sometimes the little things…

Ahh. That was not clear at all, but makes absolutely sense. Thanks for clarifying

Hi all, thanks for the feedback! This has been fixed in v4.5, released May 7, 2024, with an additional scale bar feature on the thumbnails.
