The DM3 (DigitalMicrograph Image) file extension is used by Gatan to store digital microscopy images. The DigitalMicrograph acquisition software (developed for use with the Gatan DigitalMicrograph microscope equipment) produces DM3 files which can store data from a variety of microscopes, including transmission electron microscopes, scanning electron microscopes, and three-dimensional tomography systems. DM3 stands for Digital Micrograph 3, which is the most recent version of this software platform.
Technical Details of the File Type
DM3 files are TIFF-based image files that contain descriptive information relating to the image such as location data, camera settings, microscope series, and wave lengths. The format allows multiple images to be included in one DM3 file with complex data structures that can be manipulated by Digitalmicrograph. It also allows for image adjustments to improve the user experience such as contrast, brightness, and color correction. Besides DM3, .TIF, .TIFF, .EBS, and FDAQ are other file formats often used by Gatan.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DM3) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .DM3 extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .DM3 file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .DM3 extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .DM3 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DM3 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DM3 file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .DM3 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DM3 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DM3 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
