In a Berkeley Lab - led study, flexible double - helix DNA segments connected to gold nanoparticles are revealed from the 3 - D density maps (purple and yellow) reconstructed from individual samples using a Berkeley Lab - developed technique called individual -
particle electron tomography or IPET.
The method, called individual -
particle electron tomography (IPET), takes pictures of a target molecule from multiple viewing angles, and then combines these pictures to create one 3 - D, whole - molecule rendering, similar to how a medical computed tomography (CT) scan works.
