Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.0K
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.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Atomic Force Microscopy

3.1K
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that can analyze topographic details of various specimens like ceramics, glass, polymers, and biological samples. AFM offers over 1000 times more resolution than the optical imaging system. Images generated from AFM are three-dimensional surface profiles, offering an advantage over the flat, two-dimensional images from other imaging techniques.
The AFM Probe
The probe is regarded as the heart of any AFM setup and comprises the...

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...

    Area of Science:

    • Electron Microscopy
    • Holography
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Electron microscopy is fundamentally limited by shot-noise, especially at high resolutions.
    • Instrumental instabilities like specimen drift and biprism variations hinder prolonged exposure times.
    • Off-axis electron holography is particularly sensitive to these instrumental drifts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel reconstruction algorithm for averaging off-axis electron holography series.
    • To compensate for various instrumental drifts including specimen position, biprism, voltage, and defocus.
    • To achieve high-resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio exit-wave reconstructions.

    Main Methods:

    • A new algorithm was developed to average multiple off-axis holograms.
    • The algorithm corrects for specimen drift, biprism drift, biprism voltage drift, and defocus drift.
    • The method was applied using double biprism holography.

    Main Results:

    • Successful averaging of off-axis hologram series was demonstrated.
    • Compensation for multiple instrumental instabilities was achieved.
    • High-quality exit-wave reconstruction with 75 pm resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio was obtained.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel reconstruction algorithm effectively overcomes limitations in high-resolution electron microscopy.
    • The method significantly improves image quality by averaging holograms and correcting for drifts.
    • This technique enables advanced nanoscale imaging with unprecedented resolution and clarity.
