Algorithms for Three-dimensional Reconstruction From the Imperfect Projection Data Provided by Electron Microscopy

  • Chapter
Electron Tomography

Abstract

Since the 1970s, it has become increasingly evident that transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of typical thin biological specimens carry a large amount of information on 3D macromolecular structure. It has been shown many times how the information contained in a set of TEM images (2D signals) can determine a useful estimate of the 3D structure under study.
