Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Filtering tomograms allows changing the plane of cut, even with out-of-focus images present. This is because all superimposed layer images are processed together during filtering.

Area of Science:

Electron microscopy
Image processing

Background:

Tomographic reconstruction involves imaging samples at various angles.
Out-of-focus images can complicate data analysis in electron tomography.

Purpose of the Study:

To clarify the feasibility of altering the plane of cut in tomograms.
To address the impact of out-of-focus images on tomographic filtering.

Main Methods:

Applying image filtering techniques to tomographic data.
Analyzing the simultaneous processing of superimposed images.

Main Results:

It is possible to change the plane of cut by filtering tomograms.
This method accommodates the presence of out-of-focus images.

Conclusions:

Filtering tomograms provides a method to adjust the viewing plane.
The technique is viable despite the presence of superimposed out-of-focus data.
