Structural Study of Heterogeneous Biological Samples by Cryoelectron Microscopy and Image Processing
In living organisms, biological macromolecules are intrinsically flexible and naturally exist in multiple conformations. Modern electron microscopy, especially at liquid nitrogen temperatures (cryo-EM), is able to visualise biocomplexes in nearly native conditions and in multiple conformational states. The advances made during the last decade in electronic technology and software development ha...
متن کاملIon beam induced dry etching and possibility of highly charged ion beam
Dry etching techniques employing ion beam induced surface reaction and the possibility of highly charged ion beam in dry etching are described, and the preliminary work on dry etching of GaAs using highly charged ion (HCI) is also presented. In usual dry etching, total etch rate is a summation of the physical sputtering rate, the chemical etching rate, and the ion-induced chemical etching rate....
متن کاملSite-Specific Cryo-focused Ion Beam Sample Preparation Guided by 3D Correlative Microscopy.
The development of cryo-focused ion beam (cryo-FIB) for the thinning of frozen-hydrated biological specimens enabled cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) analysis in unperturbed cells and tissues. However, the volume represented within a typical FIB lamella constitutes a small fraction of the biological specimen. Retaining low-abundance and dynamic subcellular structures or macromolecular assembl...
متن کاملDeveloping 3D SEM in a broad biological context
When electron microscopy (EM) was introduced in the 1930s it gave scientists their first look into the nanoworld of cells. Over the last 80 years EM has vastly increased our understanding of the complex cellular structures that underlie the diverse functions that cells need to maintain life. One drawback that has been difficult to overcome was the inherent lack of volume information, mainly due...
متن کاملFocused Ion Beam Microscopy and Micromachining
The FIB Instrument The basic functions of the FIB, namely, imaging and sputtering with an ion beam, require a highly focused beam. A consistent tenet of any focused beam is that the smaller the effective source size, the more current that can be focused to a point. Unlike the broad ion beams generated from plasma sources, high-resolution ion beams are defined by the use of a field ionization so...
