Abstract:
Low-dose automated tomography has been implemented on a 400-kV JEOL intermediate voltage electron microscope. Instrumentation and procedures for automatic tomographic series data collection are described. Difficulties encountered and ways to overcome them are discussed. A low-dose tomographic projection series of a triad junction of frog sartorius muscle was semiautomatically collected and a 3-D reconstruction of this organelle was made.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
