Abstract

A computational method for estimating the radial distribution function of particles seen in electron micrographs of freeze-fractured membranes is presented. The method overcomes the previous difficulty of measurements of this quantity from freeze-fracture electron micrographs — the systematic error due to the finite size of the sample areas in the freeze-fracture. By multiplying the measurements by weights specific to the shape of the sample area, the method lessens the errors due to the boundaries of the area and allows a synthesis of the average radial distribution function from counts over many small separate areas.
