Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction01:07

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

Phase-Contrast Microscopes
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

π Electron Effects on Chemical Shift: Overview

An applied magnetic field causes loosely bound π-electrons in organic molecules to circulate, producing a local or induced diamagnetic field over a large spatial volume. As the molecules tumble in solution, the field generated by π-electrons in spherical substituents results in a zero net field. However, the net field generated by π-electrons in non-spherical substituents is not zero. The effect of this induced field depends on the orientation of the molecule with respect to B0, resulting in...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Crystallography
  • Electron Microscopy

Background:

  • Electron diffraction is a powerful technique for determining crystal structures.
  • The interpretation of electron diffraction patterns can be complicated by dynamical scattering effects.
  • Precession electron diffraction is a technique used to mitigate these dynamical effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of precession electron diffraction on the sensitivity of diffracted intensities to structure factor phases.
  • To compare the nature of diffraction intensities obtained with and without precession.

Main Methods:

  • Multislice simulations were employed to model electron diffraction intensities.
  • Simulations were performed for conditions with and without precession.
  • The sensitivity of diffracted intensities to structure factor phases was analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Diffracted intensities obtained using precession electron diffraction showed reduced sensitivity to the phases of structure factors.
  • Electron diffraction intensities recorded without precession were more sensitive to phase information.
  • The results indicate that precession leads to more kinematical diffraction intensities.

Conclusions:

  • Precession electron diffraction simplifies the interpretation of electron diffraction data by reducing dynamical scattering effects.
  • This technique enhances the ability to extract accurate structure factor moduli from diffraction experiments.
  • The findings confirm that precession electron diffraction yields intensities closer to the kinematical limit.
