Numerical simulations on the 3D reconstruction of a 64 × 64 × 64 voxel vesicle model from 71 noisy projections using GENFIRE, EST, FBP and SIRT. (a–c) Three 10-voxel-thick central slices of the vesicle model in the XY, ZX and ZY planes, respectively. The corresponding three reconstructed slices with GENFIRE (d–f), EST (g–i), FBP (j–l), and SIRT (m–o), where the missing wedge axis is along the z-axis. (p) The FSC between the reconstructions and the model, showing that GENFIRE produces a more faithful reconstruction than other algorithms at all spatial frequencies.
