What is radiation damage? Are electrons more suitable than X-rays in structural biology? Richard Henderson talks about synchrotron radiation and how cryo-EM laboratories are being established at synchrotrons as national research facilities
Because I had come from X-ray crystallography and I was doing electron microscopy we knew all about radiation damages and so on
I was asked to go along and give a talk explaining about how much radiation damage you get with electrons how much you get with X-rays
Summary
What is radiation damage? Are electrons more suitable than X-rays in structural biology? Richard Henderson talks about synchrotron radiation and how cryo-EM laboratories are being established at synchrotrons as national research facilities. You wrote a review on radiation damage where you compare different radiation sources, electrons, neutrons, and x-rays.[1] Can you tell us a bit about that paper and what was the motivation?
