 Now that the sample is aligned, the tomographic measurement can be performed.
 1. `flomni.tomo_parameters()` adjust the scan parameters for the tomographic scan. This includes the parameters for ptychographic scans of projections plus the strategy for angular sampling. The vertical shift adjusts the field of view, up (positive) or down (negative). After adjusting the numbers, type again `flomni.tomo_parameters()` and verify that they are correct.
 1. `flomni.tomo_scan_projection(angle)` perform a ptychographic scan at the rotation angle <angle>. Launch the tomographic measurement by `flomni.tomo_scan()`.
