Figure 3
Comparison of experimental data and simulated data. (a) From the measured FXI diffraction pattern (top) of a single carboxysome (i.e. an icosahedral cell organelle) the projection image (bottom) was reconstructed by iterative phase retrieval down to 18.1 nm resolution. (b) At the given resolution the Condor simulation of a diffraction pattern and projection image for a uniformly filled icosahedron in matching orientation and size provides an acceptable approximation for the data shown in (a).
