Electron microscopy has allowed biologists to image                             ultrastructural elements of the cell.  This standard technology                 is limited by the requirement that sample thickness be very fine.               Since many of the cellular elements are asymmetric, these slice                 images provide only limited information.  Electron Microscope                   Tomography (EMT) will allow the 3-dimensional reconstruction of                 electron microscope images of cellular ultrastructure objects.                  The sample thickness will extend up to 1 micrometer and                         resolution will be on the order of 50 Angstroms.  Computer                      processing of image information similar to that employed in CAT                 scan technology will be used to reconstruct tilted projections.                 The 3-D reconstructions should provide greater understanding of                 the structure, and therefore the function, of cellular                          ultrastructural objects.
