    Abstract:

    Starting from 2009, the data rate of TEM cameras has outpaced the development of network, mass storage, and memory bandwidth by almost two orders of magnitude. This immense increase in performance opens new doors for applications and, at the same time, requires adequate IT systems to handle acquisition, storage, and processing that go well beyond solutions based on personal computers. This chapter reviews applications, solution strategies, and existing hardware and software components from a practical perspective to scale data handling and processing tasks to match the growing detector performance.
