Serial protein crystallography in an electron microscope

For conventional three-dimensional microcrystal electron diffraction (3D ED/MicroED), a crystal is slowly rotated under an electron beam, leading to inevitable accumulation of radiation damage during data collection. In this work, the authors present a serial electron diffraction method, where still...
