| Imaging Details | The alignment procedure was performed using the EPU software utilizing its autofocus and auto-tuning functions for initial microscope alignment. This was followed by manual fine-tuning adjustments of the beam shift, stigmation, and focus controls to ensure optimal image quality. Grid squares were screened systematically, ensuring the selection of areas with appropriate ice thickness and particle distribution. Image shift calibration and eucentric height adjustment were performed within EPU to maintain beam alignment during data acquisition |
