etspy.io.load_serialem_series(mrcfiles: list[str] | list[Path], mdocfiles: list[str] | list[Path]) → tuple[Signal2D, ndarray][source]

Load a multi-frame series collected by SerialEM.

A multi-frame series is a tilt series with multiple frames at each tilt. The resulting signal will have two navigation axes, "Frames" and "Projections".

Parameters:
mrcfiles: list[str] | list[Path]

List of MRC file paths containing multi-frame tilt series data.

mdocfiles: list[str] | list[Path]

List of SerialEM metadata file paths for multi-frame tilt series data.

Returns:

  • stack (Signal2D) – Tilt series with multiple frames at each tilt. Will have navigation shape (nframes, ntilts) and signal shape (x, y). The underlying data array will be of shape (ntilts, nframes, y, x).

  • tilts (ndarray) – The tilt values for each image in the stack. Will be of size (ntilts, nframes).
