Figure 1
The first panel shows a simple graphical representation of an early-stage cryoET pipeline. Every movie in a tilt series must be motion-corrected before performing CTF estimation on the resulting micrograph. The motion-corrected micrographs for each tilt in a tilt series are combined together for alignment and tomographic reconstruction. This combination is represented in the second panel as a node with multiple inputs mapping to a single reconstruction processing request. The third panel partially details how this representation is mapped to a variety of technologies, as outlined in Section 5. The box labelled `Gather Tilt Series' is implemented as a server making use of a PostgreSQL database, as mentioned at the end of Section 6. |
