Zernike Phase Contrast Cryo-Electron Tomography of Bacteria and Viruses
Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is currently the only method available through which pleomorphic biological specimens are imaged to produce three-dimensional (3D) structures at ~2 to 10 nm resolution [1]. There remain challenges associated with imaging intact bacteria and pleomorphic viruses by cryo-ET. In particular, investigators cope with the low contrast of cryo-preserved, unstained spec...
متن کاملZernike phase contrast cryo-electron microscopy and tomography for structure determination at nanometer and subnanometer resolutions.
Zernike phase contrast cryo-electron microscopy (ZPC-cryoEM) is an emerging technique that is capable of producing higher image contrast than conventional cryoEM. By combining this technique with advanced image processing methods, we achieved subnanometer resolution for two biological specimens: 2D bacteriorhodopsin crystal and epsilon15 bacteriophage. For an asymmetric reconstruction of epsilo...
متن کاملArtifact Correction for Zernike Phase-Plate Cryo-Electron Tomography
In cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), vitreously frozen biological specimens can tolerate only a limited electron dose for imaging. Therefore, cryo-EM micrographs display weak contrast and a poor signal-to-noise ratio. This limits data interpretability and prevents efficient application of cryo-EM to a wider range of biological problems. Continued efforts have been invested in imaging methods ...
