Transmission electron microscopy with Zernike phase plate.
The possibility of implementing a Zernike phase plate in a transmission electron microscope is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The phase-retarding plate in the form of thin film with a hole in the center is positioned in the back-focal plane of the objective lens. The experiments show that the phase plate functions as predicted, producing a cosine-type phase contrast transfe...
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 کاملObservations on the morphology of Mycobacterium leprae by ordinary optics, phase microscopy, and electron microscopy.
Although in recent years Mycobacterium leprae has been examined to a certain extent with the aid of the phase contrast microscope (7) and by electron microscopy (1,3,5,8), the bulk of our knowledge about its morphology rests on observations made with preparations stained by the Ziehl-N eelsen method and examined with classical optics. The interpertations regarding the biological significance of...
متن کاملUsing Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) for Chemical Analysis of Semiconductors
The transmission electron microscope (TEM) is an invaluable tool for the characterization of crystals, polycrystalline materials, biological specimens, nanostructures etc. It provides a wide range of different imaging modes with the ability to provide information on elemental composition and electronic structure at the ultimate sensitivity, that of a single atom. Convergent beam electron diffra...
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 ...
