The Detective Quantum Efficiency of Electron Area Detectors
Recent progress in detector design has created the need for a careful side-by-side comparison of the modulation transfer function (MTF) and resolution-dependent detective quantum efficiency (DQE) of existing e...

Experimental observation of the improvement in MTF from backthinning a CMOS direct electron detector
The modulation transfer functions (MTFs) of prototype backthinned CMOS direct electron detectors have been measured at 300keV. The images have contributions from two components, which arise from the initial pa...

Design Principles and Applications of a Cooled CCD Camera for Electron Microscopy
Cooled CCD cameras offer a number of advantages in recording electron microscope images with CCDs rather than film which include: immediate availability of the image in a digital format suitable for further co...

Structural Studies on the Conformations of Myosin
Myosin is the major motor protein found in vertebrate striated and smooth muscle and in non-muscle cells where, in association with actin, its main role is to convert chemical energy into mechanical work. Smoo...

A Review of Techniques for Time-Resolved X-Ray Studies on Muscle
The molecular structure of muscle is of great importance in modern biology for a variety of reasons but mainly because it allows an insight into the mechanism of conversion of chemical energy into mechanical w...

The use of synchrotron radiation in time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies of myosin layer-line reflections during muscle contraction
Experiments on striated muscle have been carried out at the EMBL Outstation at DESY, Hamburg, using the electron–positron storage ring DORIS as a high-intensity X-ray source. The low-angle reflections from the...
