Cryoelectron microscopy uses computer reconstruction of images of multiple virions to produce a high resolution image of a virion or capsid.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cryoelectron microscopy is a technique that uses electron microscopy to image a sample that is rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen. The images are then reconstructed using computer algorithms to produce a high resolution 3D structure. This technique has been used to study the structure of virions and capsids, among other biological structures.
