Extensible real-time data processing with Python in DigitalMicrograph

Modern electron microscopy is often data intensive. Cameras and other detectors have become much faster and sometimes larger than they were a decade ago. In-situ experiments with continuous data acquisition increase the data volume further. In-situ experiments may require decisions where the next experimental step is determined by the changes observed in the microscope. However, these changes are not always apparent from the default live view displayed in real-time.
