Selecting particles in a reconstruction

Forums

Is there a way to generate a reconstruction from a particular set of particles in the parameter file (.par). For example, I'd like to generate a reconstruction using particles that come from film number 23. I realize that I can create distinct parameter and stack files for each film number to do this, but was wondering if there is another way. Thanks.

You can select particles by providing the first and last particle number on the fourth input line (CARD 4). If the particles you want to select are not in a single sequence in the parameter file, you will have to write a script that sets all the phase residuals of the particles you do not want to include to a high value (e.g. 90). Then you can use the threshold feature of Frealign to include only the particles with a lower phase residual.
