Suspending samples over carbon holey films increases heterogeneity of molecular orientations in negative stain electron microscopy

Negative stain electron microscopy (NSEM) is a simple and cost effective method to analyze a wide variety of specimens, especially proteins. In traditional NSEM, the protein sample is applied to and supported by a continuous carbon film. Unfortunately, many proteins stick to the carbon film with a l...
