Fig. 3From: 3D reconstruction of biological structures: automated procedures for alignment and reconstruction of multiple tilt series in electron tomographyMimivirus reconstruction: comparison of XY views of the capsid layer. Tomogram slices corresponding to the boxed area in Fig. 2 showing the progression in the reconstruction refinement as more tilt series (N = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 16) are included in the process, both with FBP and wSIRT. A p3 symmetry pattern of high density material in the capsid envelope (pointed by a red triangle in the bottom right image) becomes apparent, with a \({\sim}14\,\text{nm}\) peak to peak distanceBack to article page
