The NorthStar Real Time Orientation System
NorthStar is a menu driven program which provides real time viewing of a Laue x-ray diffraction pattern. Images can be collected for a few seconds and then displayed. Program also allows storage and retrieval of images.
The NorthStar program also provides analysis routines which may be used to determine the crystal orientation from a Laue pattern. The program can assign Miller indices (hkl) for both cubic and non-cubic systems.
The NorthStar program can take the resultant solution and generate a stereographic projection of that orientation. The stereographic projection can be manipulated through various rotations to allow viewing of other orientations.
The
display screen output can be directed to the printer.
