Abstract :

[en] Tilted thick sections (one-half to several micrometers) of biological specimens observed with medium- to high-voltage electron microscopes are extremely useful for the study of the three-dimensional (3-D) structure of organelles. If high resolution in 3-D visualization and 3-D reconstruction is needed, many images corresponding to various angles of rotation and tilt must be recorded. This necessitates very time-consuming work--including eventual photographic processing--before good positioning of the object is defined. We have developed software which permits very rapid and precise determination of the tilt-axis, the registration of tilted views, 3-D measurements and 3-D visualization. Images are digitized either from negative films or directly with a camera fitted to the microscope. The application of the software is performed in minutes and allows for a rapid check of the quality of the tilt-series and of the features of interest of the object. Application of the software to the study of the 3-D structure of active components of the nucleolus stained with silver is shown.
