Figure 2. Cryo-EM data are significantly improved with direct detection camera and motion correction.
(a) Fourier transform of a typical cryo-EM image of TRPV1 ion channel embedded in thin layer of vitreous ice recorded with the direct detection camera, K2 Summit, after motion correction. Thon rings are visible up to ~3Å resolution. The position corresponding to 8Å is also marked. (b) Fourier transform of a similar image recorded using a phosphor scintillator based CMOS camera, TemF816. Thon rings are visible up to ~8Å resolution. (c) Three typical 2D class averages of images recorded with the K2 camera. (d) Similar 2D class averages of TRPV1 particle images recorded with the TemF816.
