Abstract

Energy filtration makes it possible to image an approximately 0.5 microm biological section at 80 kV in the electron microscope. Based on spectra taken at different tilt angles, we chose the most probable energy loss, deltaEp +/- 10eV for each tilt angle, as the imaging energy window. A complete tilt series from +60 degrees to -60 degrees at 2.5 degree intervals was collected on the Zeiss EM902 and used in a tomographic reconstruction of transcriptionally active chromatin in the Balbiani ring of Chironomus tentans.
