A low beam intensity, low electron dose imaging method has been developed for single-particle electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM). Experiments indicate that the new technique can reduce beam-induced specimen movement and secondary radiolytic effects, such as "bubbling". The improvement in image quality, especially for multiple-exposure data collection, will help single-particle cryo-EM to reach higher resolution.
一种用于单颗粒冷冻电子显微镜(cryo-EM)的低束流强度、低电子剂量成像方法已被开发出来。实验表明,这项新技术可以减少束流诱导的样品移动和二次辐射分解效应,如“起泡”。图像质量的提高,特别是对于多曝光数据采集,将有助于单颗粒冷冻电子显微镜达到更高的分辨率。
