abstract = {Cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-EM) of frozen
hydrated specimens is an efficient method for the structural
analysis of purified biological molecules. However, cryo-EM
and cryo-electron tomography are limited by the low
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of recorded images, making
detection of smaller particles challenging. For
dose-resilient samples often studied in the physical
sciences, electron ptychography – a coherent diffractive
imaging technique using 4D scanning transmission electron
microscopy (4D-STEM) – has recently demonstrated excellent
SNR and resolution down to tens of picometers for thin
specimens imaged at room temperature. Here we apply 4D-STEM
and ptychographic data analysis to frozen hydrated proteins,
reaching sub-nanometer resolution 3D reconstructions. We
employ low-dose cryo-EM with an aberration-corrected,
convergent electron beam to collect 4D-STEM data for our
reconstructions. The high frame rate of the electron
detector allows us to record large datasets of electron
diffraction patterns with substantial overlaps between the
interaction volumes of adjacent scan positions, from which
the scattering potentials of the samples are iteratively
reconstructed. The reconstructed micrographs show strong SNR
enabling the reconstruction of the structure of apoferritin
protein at up to 5.8 Å resolution. We also show
structural analysis of the Phi92 capsid and sheath, tobacco
mosaic virus, and bacteriorhodopsin at slightly lower
resolutions.},
