Figure 2. Tomography.
3D reconstruction of cuboctahedral shape particles, from images obtained at different tilt angles relative to the electron beam, after 40 iterations (see Methods). (a) Nanocube cluster. Neighboring nanocubes have {100} surfaces face to face separated by a distance above 2 nm due to hydrocarbon ligands. (b) Single nanocube in its original context. (c) Illustration of small deviations from perfect cubic symmetry.
