| Summary:

Scanning transmission electron microscopy is a common tool used to study the
atomic structure of materials. It is an inherently multimodal tool allowing for
the simultaneous acquisition of multiple information channels. Despite its
versatility, however, experimental workflows currently rely heavily on
experienced human operators and can only acquire data from small regions of a
sample at a time. Here, we demonstrate a flexible pipeline-based system for
high-throughput acquisition of atomic-resolution structural data using a custom
built sample stage and automation program. The program is capable of operating
over many hours without human intervention improving the statistics of
high-resolution experiments.
