Electron cryotomography (CryoET) is an imaging technique used to produce high-resolution (~1–4 nm) three-dimensional views of samples, often (but not limited to) biological macromolecules and cells. CryoET is a specialized application of transmission electron cryomicroscopy …
Electron microscopy comprises a group of imaging, spectroscopic and diffraction based characterization techniques making use of the interaction of an accelerated electron beam with materials to provide information on structure, chemistry and morphology from the …
Rotation crystallography is a way to acquire diffraction data from a single crystal sample. The crystal is mounted on a goniometer system, and a series of diffraction patterns are acquired while rotating the crystal. The …
X-ray microtomography, like tomography and X-ray computed tomography, uses X-rays to create cross-sections of a physical object that can be used to recreate a virtual model (3D model) without destroying the original object. The prefix …

X-ray crystallography is the experimental science determining the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal, in which the crystalline structure causes a beam of incident X-rays to diffract into many specific directions. By measuring the …
X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) make it possible to image biological particles, such as viruses and macromolecules with extremely intense bursts of X-rays. Any sample exposed to a single pulse of such high energy will be …
An X-ray tomography system relies on an imaging technique where multiple X-ray measurements, taken from different angles by a rotating X-ray tube around the target, are processed using reconstruction algorithms, in order to produce tomographic …
