Problem alignment frames from K2

Hello everybody,

I have been using UNBLUR to align frames from Falcon detector, it works well with 16 frames and 520Mb files. Now I am using K2 detector, and the frames from this detector are not "stack". I am using a Relion script to stack the 32 frames (52 Mb each) and the output is a .mrcs file (1.8 Gb each). I changed the format to mrc and tried to run UNBLUR but there is an error and the images are deleted. Sorry, I am a beginner, could you give some advise?

Thanks

Pablo

Hi Pablo,

It looks like you are giving the same file for the input and output file.

The input is FoilHole_3679268_Data_3674926_3674927_20160705_0945-8429.mrc, the output is the aligned sum, so you should call it something else e.g. "FoilHole_3679268_Data_3674926_3674927_20160705_0945-8429_aligned.mrc".

I think this should solve the problem.

Cheers,

Tim
