- Description
- The HED (Hi-Eddi) file type is associated with specialized software used in the analysis and processing of high-resolution electron density maps, primarily in the fields of crystallography and structural biology. These files contain data related to the electron density of molecules, which is crucial for determining molecular structures at atomic or near-atomic resolution. HED files are used to store, exchange, and analyze data in a format that supports the intricate details required for high-precision scientific work. The format facilitates the interpretation and modeling of molecular structures, enabling researchers to understand biological functions and interactions at a molecular level.
- A TIF file is an image file saved in a high-quality graphics format. It is often used for storing images with many colors, typically digital photos, and includes support for layers and multiple pages.
