Landyne Suite

Landyne, established in 2010 by X.Z. Li and Jane Li in Lincoln, NE, specializes in computer software & graphic design. We have developed a comprehensive software suite on electron diffraction simulation and electron microscopy image processing for crystallographic analysis. The suite serves as a valuable tool for TEM-related research and educational purposes in electron microscopy and crystallography.

Installation

The Landyne suite, packaged as a compressed file, landyne6.7z, can be downloaded from the following websites,

Before installation, ensure that the latest version of the open-source JDK (Java Development Kit) is installed on your PC. You can verify this by opening a command prompt console, and typing “java –version”. If the console displays “openjdk version “21.0.3” or a higher version, OpenJDK is installed. Otherwise, download and install the OpenJDK software.

License

To activate the software beyond demo mode, licenses are required and can be obtained from Landyne (contact info below). Without valid licenses, software components operate in demo mode. Information on costs for time-period licenses is available on the Landyne website, while perpetual licenses costs and discounts can be requested via email.

Launcher

The Landyne Launcher consolidates all software components into a unified graphic interface for efficient utilization of the Landyne suite. While each component operates independently, their integration enhances their collective utility in research endeavors.

To launch the landyne suite, execute “landyne.exe”. Create a shortcut of “landyne.exe” for convenient access; the launcher’s icon is depicted in the figure above. From there, you can easily open the Landyne Launcher.  Position the launcher on your monitor by clicking and dragging the icon to your desired location.
