For processing and analysis of tomographic data, mostly by means of the IMOD
software package, the facility employs a fleet of Linux-based
PC graphics workstations. Our server and eight workstations
are factory-configured, but some are custom-built. All feature
Intel or Athlon processors, 1.5-8 GB of RAM, high-performance
Nvidia graphics cards and large high-resolution monitors.
Between our central server and the satellite workstations,
our storage capacity is several terabytes.
In addition, we have several Macintosh G4 computers and numerous
windows-based systems,which are used primarily for image-postprocessing
but also run all of the IMOD tools. All are equipped with
the latest versions of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, Apple
QuickTime, Microsoft PowerPoint and other graphics software.
CD and DVD recorders are available for high-capacity removeable
storage, high-resolution scanners for digitizing negatives
and printed media and color printers for publication-quality
hardcopy output. All of our computers are maintained on a
gigabit local-area network.
