01 / THE SCIENCE

What science makes it possible The

Vitrified preservation reduces structural changes caused by drying; multiple low signal-to-noise ratio projections are aligned, classified and reconstructed to recover three-dimensional information. The resolution is determined by the sample, imaging and calculation.

Understanding the product requires putting a single formula back into the system: input measurements, materials and boundary conditions are calculated by the model and then compared with actual data. Approximations at different scales cannot be unconditionally spliced, and relevant tools will indicate applicable conditions respectively.

02 / REAL-WORLD USE

Commercial applications and engineering boundaries

structural biology team uses three-dimensional density to explain the conformation of protein complexes, and then combines biochemical and functional experiments to verify the mechanism. The
