Measuring the effects of ice thickness on resolution in single particle cryo-EM.
Journal of structural biology: X 20230124
Ice thickness is a critical parameter in single particle cryo-EM - too thin ice can break during imaging or exclude the sample of interest, while ice that is too thick contributes to more inelastic scattering that precludes obtaining high resolution reconstructions. Here we present the practical effects of ice thickness on resolution, and the influence of energy filters, accelerating voltage, or detector mode. We collected apoferritin data with a wide range of ice thicknesses on three microscope ...[more]
