How Cryo-Electron Tomography Captures Molecular Machines Inside Living Cells
Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) allows scientists to create detailed 3D images of molecular machines within their native cellular environments. By flash-freezing cells and computationally reconstructing multiple 2D images, cryo-ET reveals molecular structures and their functional context in situ.
