The EMAN1 Wiki isn't as complete as the EMAN2 Wiki, as EMAN1 is gradually
being deprecated in favor of the latter, and the EMAN1 static documentation
is fairly complete. Both EMAN1 and EMAN2 can be installed simultaneously, and
EMAN2 does not yet allow complete reconstructions.
'''''IMPORTANT NOTICE''''' - EMAN1 is now quite out of date, and is no longer being updated in any way. Modern standards require "gold standard" resolution assessment and many reviewers will also require things like tilt validation. All of these things are fully supported in EMAN2. EMAN2.1 has eliminated all of the issues users found frustrating about EMAN2.0, and we strongly encourage people to upgrade.

==== About EMAN ====
EMAN is a suite of scientific image processing tools aimed primarily at
the transmission electron microscopy community, though it is beginning
to be used in other fields as well. For example it can do an admirable
job aligning images for amateur astronomers. EMAN has a particular focus on
performing a task known as single particle reconstruction. In this
method, images of nanoscale molecules and molecular assemblies embedded
in vitreous (glassy) ice are collected on a transmission electron
microscope, then processed using EMAN to produce a complete 3-D
recosntruction at resolutions now approaching atomic resolution. For
low resolution structures (~2 nm), this may require ~8 hours of
computer processing and a few thousand particles. For structures aimed
at ~0.5 nm or better resolution, hundreds of thousands of particles and
hundreds of thousands of CPU-hours (on large computational clusters)
may be required. Indeed, EMAN is often used in supercomputing
facilities as a test application for large-scale computing.
