2. Current EMEN Database Diverse data requirements: purification  data collection  reconstruction OODB (Zope based) Direct equipment interface 290 users from dozens of labs ~7 Tb image data 2-3 Tb/year of image data 385,000 total records

3. LIMS Centralized databases (PDB, EBI, etc.) vs. in-house archives with detailed information Scientific Database vs. Electronic Notebook

5. Excellent flexibility Rich information content Limited mineability

6. Goals BOTH flexibility and mineability KISS Database should think like the scientist, not the other way around Archive detailed experimental protocols Association of databases

11. manually_vitrified_grid A preprepared #grid was placed in a pair of forceps and loaded into the plunger. $cryogen was preprepared below the plunger (ethane and other cryogens which may become solid are reliquefied using a room temperature copper rod immediately prior to plunging). $grid_volume of specimen was deposited on the front of the grid using a pipette. The grid was then blotted on $grid_blot_side using $filter_paper_type and the plunger was triggered after a $grid_plunge_delay to rapidly submerse the grid in the cryogen. The forceps were then released from the guillotine and the grid was placed in $grid_storage_id in $grid_storage_slot. The grid storage button was then placed in $cryofreezer_id for storage until imaging.
