For something different, tried this approach on something on the other end of the spectrum - in situ ribosomes from low SNR 2DTM data.

Used the U2OS-grid 9 dataset from EMPIAR-12459 (699 movies; doi.org/10.1016/j.mo...).

Blob pick & 2D after denoising gave 12k particles. 2-class HR-HAIR --> 3.3 Å

Finally, an FSC discussion again! It’s been a while…..
Oops, have I just inadvertently opened up a new FSC-can-of-worms on the @ccpem.bsky.social mailing list.....? 😱

Whoever gets the resolution of raw tomograms to <10 Å within the sampled parts of Fourier space would probably deserve a Nobel. Or they'd get one anyway for the crazy new physics they discovered to achieve that.
“Achieving individual tomograms of cells where any features are at 10 Å resolution or better is well-beyond both current capabilities and reasonable predictions of future improvements.”

When you have spent several weeks purifying your beloved sample and it felt at the bottom of the liquid nitrogen tank 😄 #CryoEM

Ever wondered how some of the automation in cryo-EM data collection works? Read Bram Koster's 1989 thesis!

Take a look at my personal perspective on the past, present, and future of in situ structural biology with cryo-ET+

While initially skeptical about the genre, I found it fun to write and hopefully, you can enjoy my experiences and some thoughts. Nice weekend y'all
