We believe that transparency and accessibility are essential to accelerating progress. As such, Direct Electron is dedicated to the FAIR principles for data management and stewardship. This starts by ensuring that any data written by our cameras is written into an open and standardized format to the greatest extent possible. By doing so, we aim to empower researchers worldwide to build upon our work and drive innovation forward without being tied to a single software ecosystem.
Furthermore, we are proud to support open-source projects that advance data processing and facilitate data discovery. Our camera API is open, and we are dedicated to supporting integration in whatever ways possible. Many of our team members actively contribute to open-source initiatives and help with training users on open-source software. We are grateful for the vibrant community of dedicated scientists who support open-source software, and we are dedicated to continuing to support their efforts.
