EMDash with Microscopy GUI

EMDash takes a "-t <mode>" parameter. One of these modes is "-t microscopy", which will provide a user-interface customized for microscopists.

EMDash microscopy mode also takes a "-m <microscope ID>" parameter, pointing to the record in the database that represents the microscope being used. For instance, record 110 in our system is our JEOL 2010F microscope.

python -m emdash.microscopy
