Electron microscope tomography

Abstract Electron microscope tomography allows three-dimensional reconstruction of ultrastructural objects at the molecular level. The method is general and not limited to symmetric, or regularly ordered structures. Alone, or in combination with immunoelectron microscopy and electron spectroscopic imaging, electron microscope tomography is a powerful technique in cell and molecular biology.
