Full Description

This definitive work provides a comprehensive treatment of the mathematical background and working methods of three-dimensional reconstruction from tilt series. Special emphasis is placed on the problems presented by limitations of data collection in the transmission electron microscope.

The book, extensively revised and updated, takes the reader from biological specimen preparation to three-dimensional images of the cell and its components.
