Electron cryotomography is an emerging technique that allows the structures of unique biological objects such as individual macromolecules, viruses, and even small whole cells to be reconstructed in their near-native states in three dimensions (3-D) to an approximate 5-nm resolution. The required instrumentation, sample preparation and limitations, data collection, typical results, and future prospects are summarized briefly.
